i woke up with a cough 

a germ had gotten on me 

and i couldn't get it off of me 

my mom would say to take some medicine 

right away so i did 

real bad cough, yeah, real bad cough 

i found a bottle in a drawer 

i thought it was cough syrup 

but i couldn't have been more wrong 

i drank it down and then i found 

to my complete amazement 

i swallowed some nitro, i swallowed some nitro 

i swallowed some nitro, am i gonna die? 

i swallowed some nitro, i swallowed some nitro 

where does a guy go when he swallows some nitro? 

how will i explain this to my mom? 

i'll have to call her up and tell her i'm a human bomb 

and she will feed me baby food just like the did to grampaw 

just like grampaw, just like gramps 

oh well, no more taco bell 

and smokin' cigarettes will probably get me blown to hell 

and if i go, i guarantee, my pop is goin' with me 

i swallowed some nitro, i swallowed some nitro 

i swallowed some nitro, am i gonna die? 

i swallowed some nitro, i swallowed some nitro 

where does a guy go when he swallows some nitro? 

am i gonna explode?
