about

Warning contains song about Eastenders and Immigration!

I'm A Grant Song is the tale of an alternate universe Grant Mitchell who believes all the media coverage of immigrants is actually about 'I'm a Grant's'.

lyrics

Good evening my name's Mr Mitchell
More specifically I'm a Grant
I've been a Grant for as long as I can remember
I was a Grant long before I was an Eastender
People think I probably love Eastenders
Are you kidding? I flipping hate Eastenders
They kicked me out 'cause I'm a Grant
If only I was a Phil

Nobody likes me 'cause I'm a Grant
It's pretty hard being an 'I'm a Grant'
I take all the jobs nobody wants
Like being brothers with Phil
Nobody likes me 'cause I'm a Grant
It's pretty hard being an 'I'm a Grant'
I take all the jobs nobody wants
Then they say that they do want them once I've already done them for much less money than they would have been prepared to do them for

I see them on the telly talking about me
They think I must be stupid and that I can't see
They say I hang around in 'I'm a Grant' gangs well technically I have been involved with a few gangs
But that's my job documenting them for Sky now
Don't spread rumours you've got the wrong guy now
The BBC presenting jobs are going to Clare Balding
Sky's the only place left for 'I'm a Grant's that are balding

Nobody likes me 'cause I'm a Grant
It's pretty hard being an 'I'm a Grant'
I take all the jobs nobody wants
Like being brothers with Phil (like being brothers with Phil)
Nobody likes me 'cause I'm a Grant
It's pretty hard being an 'I'm a Grant'
I take all the jobs nobody wants
Then they say that they do want them once I've already done them

It's easy to judge me but don't be so hasty
What if your parents had looked down at that baby and said
'Can you think of a better name 'cause I can't?'
'That one can be Phil and that one can be Grant'
Phil can get any job that he wants
Provided it's continue to be in Eastenders
But job prospects are pretty scant
For that little scamp named Grant

But I've got a secret weapon
When nobody was looking
Everybody seems to dig my cooking
They hate everything that I stand for
But Jesus when I mix that cumin and the coriander

Now everybody loves I'm a Grant
'Cause I cook for them just like a Grant
They look past the fact that I'm a Grant
Now they all just hate Phil
