Lyrics of
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies, led by vocalist Brad Roberts, is a narrative composed of three distinct verses, each telling a strange, melancholic story about children dealing with unusual or tragic circumstances. Released in 1993, this track became one of the bands biggest hits, reaching high positions on music charts. The song marked the era with its simple yet catchy melody and thought-provoking lyrics.

Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed soooo hard

Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm

Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go to change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there

Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm

Both girl and boy were glad
One kid had it worse than that

'Cause then there was a boy whose
Parents made him come right home directly after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there
