When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad.
C                G              D7             G
Seem 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.

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.
          C                            G
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. 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, 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. 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. Attila the Hun. My sister's a nun.
