One pill, two pill, three pill, four
Picked myself up from off of the floor
Five six seven pill, eight pill, more
Brighten my days like never before

White ones, blue ones, eat ’em up, yum!
Who knew life could be so much fun?
Open your mouth and put ’em in your tum!
When was the last time you saw the sun?

Nine pill, ten pill, twelve and eleven
No mo’ cussin’ and a-fussin’ and a-yellin’
Fifteen, sixteen, ten-and-seven
No need to die to go to heaven

White ones, blue ones, eat ’em up, yum!
Who knew life could be so much fun?
Open your mouth and put ’em in your tum!
Put on your shorts and go for a run

Twenty one pills, twenty two and three
Life is worth living as the brand new me
Thirty one pills and a life of glee
Life is worth living as the brand new me…

one pill two pill three pill four picked myself up from off of the floor five six seven pill eight pill more brighten my days like never before white ones blue ones eat em up…
