It's the morning after | It's the morning after | ||

Don't pick on me | Don't pick on me | ||
'Cause I | 'Cause I don't believe in a burn like that, | ||
I pick up my donuts for free | |||
And when she comes 'round | |||
Her big chip captures me | |||
So get with the groove | |||
'Cause it hurts me so bad | |||
Don't trifle | Don't trifle | ||
Don't stifle me | Don't stifle me | ||
'Cause I don't expect to be torn to shreds | 'Cause I don't expect to be torn to shreds | ||
Every time I am in need | |||
And when she comes 'round | |||
Her big chip captures me | |||
And when she comes around | And when she comes around | ||
| Line 56: | Line 64: | ||
And I don't expect to be torn to shreds | And I don't expect to be torn to shreds | ||
Every time I am in need | |||
And when she comes 'round | |||
Her big chip captures me | |||
And when she comes around | And when she comes around | ||

Because it hurts me so bad | Because it hurts me so bad | ||
Don't trifle | Don't trifle | ||
Don't stifle me | Don't stifle me</poem> | ||
