Rumpus Room Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jamie Stewart & Angus Andrew]
Pills like a maracas
You don't care who hears
It costs a lot to feel this cuckoo
What is a faith, without a crisis?
Just let them be, as a crisis

[Pre-Chorus: Jamie Stewart & Angus Andrew]
No posture, bad posture
Flaming Hot Cheetos, Fuego Takis

[Chorus: Jamie Stewart & Angus Andrew]
Rumpus, rumpus, room, room
Black, black
Blue, blue, blue, blue
Rumpus room
Krampus room
Electric black
Black, black, blue, blue
Rumpus, rumpus, room, room
Black, black
Blue, blue, blue, blue
Rumpus room
Krampus room
Electric black
Black, black, blue, blue

[Verse 2: Jamie Stewart & Angus Andrew]
Don't do it
Accused of being pretty
Never smile, never cry
Don't do it
Fingers castaneted
Lovelessly chalked, lovelessly dried

[Pre-Chorus: Jamie Stewart & Angus Andrew]
Don't trip on your skates
You cough a lot

[Chorus: Jamie Stewart & Angus Andrew]
Rumpus, rumpus, room, room
Black, black, blue, blue, blue, blue
Rumpus room
Krampus room
Electric black
Black, black, blue, blue
Rumpus, rumpus, room, room
Black, black, blue, blue, blue, blue
Rumpus room
Krampus room
Electric black
Black, black, blue, blue
Rumpus, rumpus, room, room
Black, black
Blue, blue, blue, blue
Rumpus room
Krampus room
Electric black
Black, black, blue, blue
Rumpus, rumpus, room, room
Black, black
Blue, blue, blue, blue
Rumpus room
Krampus room
Electric black
Black, black, blue, blue

[Pre-Chorus: Jamie Stewart & Angus Andrew]
Don't you want to openly like me?
A coconut hits you on the head
Old phone, needy and around
Chili Fritos, Original Bugles

[Interlude: Jamie Stewart & Angus Andrew]
Unwrap a cutie

[Bridge: Jamie Stewart & Angus Andrew]
Goodness Gracious vs. Gorgon
Samuel Little vs. Little Debbie
Wixaritari vs. Walker Comma Kara
Krampus vs. Rumpus Room

[Outro: Angus Andrew]
Rumpus Room

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
