Don't light me up I got a short fuse.
Don't put me down I just love the dirt.
Don't tie me up 'cos I'll just get loose.
Don't try to play you might get hurt.
The violence in Europe is oozing
Just like the pus from a broken scab
Got made a man from nights of boozing
Gonna be just like my dad.
Hey! Mr. Postman what's the news today?
Can you tell me if everything's gonna be OK?
My eyes are wide open, and the drapes have been drawn.
My heart is smokin', blowin' up like an atom bomb.
B / / / B/bassA
Don't light me up I got a short fuse.
Don't put me down I just love the dirt.
Don't tie me up 'cos I'll just get loose.
Don't try to play you might get hurt.
The dogs are gone and I can't get work,
The sun shines down like a40 Watt bulb.
I told my mom and she went berserk.
I should have done what I'd been told.
Hey, Humpty Dumpy, I guess you learned your lesson.
You got made into breakfast by some fat old Texan.
And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't find a reason, and pushed Humpty to his end.
Don't light me up I got a short fuse.
Don't put me down I just love the dirt.
Don't tie me up 'cos I'll just get loose.
Don't try to play you might get hurt.
