Mommy, what does hyper mean?

The teacher says I'll never read

Says I need to take a pill

So I can learn to sit real still

The microwaves did something to our brains

We need to take these pills to help us change



Please let me take them

I don't want to be an idiot

Ritilin will make me smart,

at least that's what my teacher says

All the other kids take them

I think I am the only one

I need something to slow me down

I talk too much 'cause I am dumb



Mommy what's a deficit?

I think it means that I can't sit

Disorder of attention

and I don't learn the lesson

Mommy, please help me see the light

Don't you know my teacher's always right?



Please let me take them

I don't want to be an idiot

Ritilin will make me smart,

at least that's what my teacher says

All the other kids take them

I think I am the only one

I need something to slow me down

I talk too much 'cause I am dumb

Joey started on week four,

He's not in trouble anymore

Suzy in it on week nine,

Now she's never out of line

Now she's never ever out of...



Please let me take them

I don't want to be an idiot

Mommy takes my ritilin,

There's not enough for me she said

All the other moms take them

I think it's not just mine

I don't know if she's smarter now,

but at least she's doin' fine
