Lyrics

One day I went to the library, I found this book, it was great! It was so cool, I couldn't put down, Even when it got pretty late! That Night I haa a scary dream, I mexed my own secret potion. I added dirt, a bit of sludge, some eyes of flies And a tiny dab of sunten lotion. I started shaking, my legs were quaking, My stomach aching, my brain was breaking!! I start turning green, feeling mean It was like in the story, I was acting strange, quite deranged, It was pure allegory!! Allegory: a history where the characters stand for abstract ideas, for example, good and evil! Cuz I was: Jekyll, Jekyll Hyde, Jekyll Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll. Jekyll, Jekyll Hyde, Jekyll Hyde!! Jekyll, Jekyll Hyde, Jekyll Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll. Jekyll, Jekyll Hyde, Jekyll Hyde!! When I awoke, I was me again. I hid the book out of sight. It was so cool what I couldn’t keep away, So I took it out again that night. And then I dreamed what we had a test in school. I got to say it was weird. We had to give the answers in semi form, And for extra credit, grow a beard.

I couldn’t take, just couldn’t take In one swift motion, I grabbed my potion!! I said mister Hyde has arrived, Tossed my floor. Made a major speech, told to teach This is all a big bore! Ran down all the halls, wrote on walls, Even stole second base! I was super bad, sure was glad, I wasn’t wearing my face. Cuz I was: {refrain} This is too much, I simply had to stop and I threw that potion away!(Potion away!) But I didn’t matter if I drank the stuff, I just kept on changing anyway! (Changing anyway!) Now I was: {refrain} Just I was seemed, there was no way out, I saw the book was overdue. The book lady said: “Are you returning?” I thought and I said: “No. Renew!!"
