[Verse 1]
One day I went to the library
I found this book, it was great!
It was so cool I couldn't put it down
Even when it got pretty late!
[Verse 3]
That night I had a scary dream!
I mixed my own secret potion!
Added dirt, a bit of sludge some eyes of flies
And a tiny dab of sun-tan lotion!
[Verse 4]
I started shaking, my legs were quaking!
My stomach aching, my brain was breaking!
I started turning green, feeling mean
It was like in that story!
I was acting strange, quite deranged
It was pure allegory!
[Super Useful Fact]
Allegory: A story where the characters stand for abstract ideas
For example, good and evil
[Chorus]
CAUSE. I. WAS
JEKYLL, JEKYLL HYDE, JEKYLL HYDE, HYDE, JEKYLL
JEKYLL, JEKYLL HYDE, JEKYLL HYYYYYDE!
JEKYLL, JEKYLL HYDE, JEKYLL HYDE, HYDE, JEKYLL
JEKYLL, JEKYLL HYDE, JEKYLL HYYYYYDE!
[Verse 6]
When I awoke, I was me again!
I hid the book out of sight
It was so cool I couldn't keep away
So I took it out again that night!
[Verse 7]
And then I dreamed we had this test in school
I gotta say, it was weird!
We had to give the answers in semaphore
And for extra-credit, grow a beard!
[Verse 6]
I couldn't take it, just couldn't take it!
In one swift motion, I grabbed my potion!
HA-HA-HA-HA
I said Mr. Hyde has arrived
Tossed my flags on the floor
Made a major speech
Told the teach this is all a big bore!
Ran down all the halls, wrote on walls
Even stole second base!
I was super bad, sure was glad;
I wasn't wearin' my face!
[Chorus]
CAUSE. I. WAS
JEKYLL, JEKYLL HYDE, JEKYLL HYDE, HYDE, JEKYLL
JEKYLL, JEKYLL HYDE, JEKYLL HYYYYYDE!
JEKYLL, JEKYLL HYDE, JEKYLL HYDE, HYDE, JEKYLL
JEKYLL, JEKYLL HYDE, JEKYLL HYYYYYDE!
[Verse 7]
This is too much, I simply had to stop!
I threw that potion away! (potion awaaaaay)
But it didn't matter if I drank the stuff
I just kept on changing anyway! (changing anywaaaaay)
