It's like sitting in the kitchen when the music's really bitchin'
Your nose is starting to itch it as you count your old age
[B] I forget to mention the ride that I was hitchin' [E] to the Illuminati convention
I had such good intentions
[B] Keep your cotton pickin' fingers off my [D#] phone phone
[A] And leave the [B] lights on till your baby gets home
[E] Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
Leave the lights on till your baby gets [A] home
Don't forget your toothbrush, your hairbrush and your comb
[E] Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
