911

Performed by Cyndi Lauper, music by Cyndi Lauper, Stephen Broughton Lunt. Note from the transcriptor: there're some differences between the booklet words (inside "{ }") and what is actually sung (inside "( )").

There's a riot in the kitchen and the bed's on fire
there's a locket in my pocket that I can't find
oh I'm at the window whistling in the wind
I'm at my own front door and I can't get in

* I'm dialing up 911
I'm on the brink of trouble again,
if you could change the time, a little,
then everything (else) would be
fine, fine, fine

Tell me do you have a home-made remedy,
the only time we talk is in our sleep
oh he likes mornings, I like the moon
it's a typical case of too {little} (late), too soon
[repeat *]

.. My back is in the corner,
my boat is taking on water,
you can't wrap fire up in paper
and you can't rap your way out of here

Oh I like mornings, he likes the moon
it's a typical case of too late, too soon

[repeat *]

Ho-oh

[repeat *]

I'm dialing up 911

[repeat 3 times:] I'm dialing up 911

[voice at telephone:]

Ha, ah-ha...
