I don't have a bedtime, I don't need to come.
(G) (F) (C)
For I have become an am-phetamine bum.
(F)
If you don't like sleeping, and don't want to screw,
(G) (F) (C)
Then you should take lots of am-phetamine too.

I'm always excited, I just love to walk.
My jaws keep on turning and churning out talk.
I love to draw pictures in layers and layers
and say the words backwards, when I say my prayers!
(chorus)
These lemules (?) and games, they make life so sweet.

My brain works so fleet, I can outwit the heat.
And I never feel beat, and I don't need to eat!
(chorus)
There's nine bouncing people, in one little room.
The vectors are threading eternity's loom.
It's not bad for brain cells, the doctors proclaim.
It's almost as safe as that dull cocaine!
