Pencil Full of Lead
Ooh, I've got a sheet for my bed and a pillow for my head
I've got a pencil full of lead and some water for my throat
I got a button for my coat and sails on my boat
So much more than I needed before
I got money in the meter and a two-bar heater
Oh, now it's getting hotter, oh, it's only getting sweeter
I got legs on my chair and a head full of hair
Pot and a pan and some shoes on my feet
I got a shelf full of books and most of my teeth
I got a few pairs of socks and a door with a lock
I got food in my belly and some streams for my telly
Nothing's gonna bring me down, oh
Well, I got a nice guitar and tires on my car
I got most of the means and scripts for the scenes
I'm out and about so I'm in with a shout
I got a fair bit of chat but better than that
I got food in my belly and a license for my telly
And nothing's going to bring me down
Oh, no, no, no
Well, best of all, I've got my baby
Oh, best of all, you know I got my baby
She's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down, oh, ooh
Oh, best of all, I've got my baby
Oh, best of all, you know I got my baby
She's mighty fine and she says she's all mine
And nothing going to bring me down, oh-oh-oh
She's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down
Yeah, she's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down, not today, no, no
Oh, best of all you know got my baby
Oh, best of all you know got my baby
She's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down
Well, she's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I've got a pencil full of lead and some water for my throat
I got a button for my coat and sails on my boat
So much more than I needed before
I got money in the meter and a two-bar heater
Oh, now it's getting hotter, oh, it's only getting sweeter
I got legs on my chair and a head full of hair
Pot and a pan and some shoes on my feet
I got a shelf full of books and most of my teeth
I got a few pairs of socks and a door with a lock
I got food in my belly and some streams for my telly
Nothing's gonna bring me down, oh
Well, I got a nice guitar and tires on my car
I got most of the means and scripts for the scenes
I'm out and about so I'm in with a shout
I got a fair bit of chat but better than that
I got food in my belly and a license for my telly
And nothing's going to bring me down
Oh, no, no, no
Well, best of all, I've got my baby
Oh, best of all, you know I got my baby
She's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down, oh, ooh
Oh, best of all, I've got my baby
Oh, best of all, you know I got my baby
She's mighty fine and she says she's all mine
And nothing going to bring me down, oh-oh-oh
She's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down
Yeah, she's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down, not today, no, no
Oh, best of all you know got my baby
Oh, best of all you know got my baby
She's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down
Well, she's mighty fine and says she's all mine
And nothing's going to bring me down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
