When I woke up this morning, things were looking bad.
Seemed like turtle silence was the only friend I had.
A bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down, and won.
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized I was having no fun.
Ah, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile.
It don't cost very much, but it'll last a long while.
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone.
No, I'm just trying to have me some fun.
Whew.
Well last time I checked my bankroll, it was getting thin.
Sometimes it seems like the bottom is the only place I've been.
I chased a rainbow down a one-way street, dear dear.
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen.
Ah, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile.
It don't cost very much, but it'll last a long while.
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone.
No, I'm just trying to have me some fun.
It's nothing.
It really is nothing.
Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls.
Trying to get away from all the ears inside my walls.
I dreamed the police heard everything I thought what they heard.
Well, I went to court and the judge's name was Hoffman.
Ah, but fortunately.
Now this is your turn.
Not too perfect, but one that'll sound like a regular crowd.
I have the key to escape reality.
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile.
It don't cost very much, but it'll last a long while.
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone.
No, I'm just trying to have me some fun.
