Lyrics

[Intro]
| F5 -   | -  -   | -   -  | - - |
| -  -   | -  -   | -   -  | - - |
| -  D#5 | C5 A#5 | G#5 G5 |

[Interlude]
                  | F5 |
| D#5 | A#5 | G#5 | F5 |
| D#5 | A#5 | G#5 |

[Verse 1]
F5                 G#5
Mommy, what does hyper mean?
A#5                   C5
The teacher says I'll never read
F5             G#5
Says I need to take a pill
   A#5             C5
So I  can learn to sit real still
    F5             D#5              A#5
The microwaves did something to our brains
G#5   F5                 D#5              A#5   G#5
   We need to take these pills to help us change

[Chorus]
D#5                  C5
   Please let me take  them
        A#5            G#5
I don't want to be an idiot
D#5              C5
Ritalin will make  me smart
   A#5                     G#5
At least that's what my teacher says
D#5               C5
All the other kids  take them
  A#5              G#5
I think I am the only one
D#5                 C5
I need something to slow me down
  A#5                 G#5
I talk too much cause I  am dumb

[Interlude]
                  | F5 |
| D#5 | A#5 | G#5 | F5 |
| D#5 | A#5 | G#5 |

[Verse 2]
F5               G#5
Mommy what's a deficit?
A#5                    C5
I think it means that I  can't sit
F5               G#5      A#5                   C5
Disorder of attention and I  don't learn the lesson
F5            D#5             A#5
Mommy, please help me see the light
G#5 F5                D#5              A#5   G#5
    Don't you know my teacher's always right?

[Chorus]
D#5                  C5
   Please let me take  them
        A#5            G#5
I don't want to be an idiot
D#5              C5
Ritalin will make  me smart
   A#5                     G#5
At least that's what my teacher says
D#5               C5
All the other kids  take them
  A#5              G#5
I think I am the only one
D#5                 C5
I need something to slow me down
  A#5                 G#5
I talk too much cause I  am dumb

Joey started on   week four,
     A#5               C5  C#5
he's not in trouble anymore

[Verse 3]
F5           D#5
Suzy in it on   week nine,
C5                 A#5
now she's never out   of line
G#5              G5
Now she's never ever out of

[Outro]
D#5                  C5
   Please let me take  them
        A#5            G#5
I don't want to be an idiot
D#5              C5
Mommy takes my Ritalin
        A#5              G#5
There's not enough for me   she said
D#5               C5
All the other moms  take them
  A#5                     G#5
I think it's not just mine
D#5                   C5
I don't know if she's smarter now
    A#5                  G#5 D#5
But at least she's doing fine
