Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain.

 

Woke up one morin' just about half past four,

Heard Somebody knocking on my door,

Cocaine done got all around my brain,

 

I come in one morning about half past ten

My gal got a chair tried her best to knock me in.

Cocaine done got all around my brain.

 

Round myself sittin' on the side of the road,

Just spent all the money I had for room and board

Cocaine done got all around my brain.

 

Run here, mama, run here quick

This cocaine's about to make me sick,

Cocaine done got all around my brain.

 

Woke up this morning about half past six

My gal done quit me, she done got me fixed.

Cocaine done got all around my brain.

 

I said, run here somebody, won't you please run in a hurry,

This cocaine has got me sick,

Cocaine done got all around my brain.
