    When I woke up this morning,
    Things were lookin' bad
    Seems like total silence was
    The only friend I had
    Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down...and won
    And it was twelve o'clock before I realized
    That I was havin' no fun

    Chorus:
    But fortunately I have the key
    To escape reality
    And you may see me tonight
    Bith an illegal smile
    It don't cost very much,
    But it lasts a long while
    Won't you please tell the man
    I didn't kill anyone
    No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun

    Last time I checked my bankroll,
    It was gettin' thin
    Sometimes it seems like the bottom
    Is the only place I've been
    I Chased a rainbow down a one-way street...
    Dead end
    And all my friends turned out to be
    Insurance salesmen

    Repeat Chorus

    Well, I sat down in my closet
    With all my overalls
    Tryin' to get away
    From all the ears inside my walls
    I dreamed the police heard
    Everything I thought... what then?
    Well I went to court
    And the judge's name was Hoffman

    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 lasts a long while
    Won't you please tell the man
    I didn't kill anyone
    No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun

    Well done, hot dog bun, my sister's a nun
