Da bowl of oatmeal Ctried to stare me Gdown Cand Gwon
and it was Dtwelve o'clock before I Crealized that I was Ghavin' Cno Gfun
Ah, but Dfortunately I Ghave the key to escCape DrealitGy
and you may Csee me tonight with an Gillegal smile
it don't Dcost very much, but it Glasts a long while
won't you Cplease tell the man I didn't Gkill anyone
no I was Djust tryin' to Chave me some GfunCGCGC

Well, I Gsat down in my Dcloset Cwith all my overGalls
just Ctryin' to get Gaway from all the Dears Cinside the Gwalls
Ddreamed the police Cheard everything I Gthought Cwhat Gthen?

Ah, but Dfortunately I Ghave the key to escCape DrealiGty
and you may Csee me tonight with an Gillegal smile
