One day I went to the library
That night I had a scary dream
I started shaking,
I started turning green;
I was acting strange;
'Cause I was
When I awoke, I was me again
And then I dreamed we had this test in school
I couldn't take it,
I said: "Mr. Hyde
Made a major speech;
I ran down all the halls,
I was super bad;
''Cause I was
This was too much, I simply had to stop!
Now I was (Background laugh)
Just when it seemed there was no way out
