Buckner And Garcia - Pac-Man Fever Lyrics

Lyrics

I got a pocket full of quarters

and I'm headed to the arcade

I don't have a lot of money

but I'm bringing everything I made

I got a callous on my finger

and my shoulder's hurting too

I'm gonna eat 'em all up

just as soon as they turn blue

CHORUS:

'Cause I got Pac-Man Fever

(Pac-Man Fever)

It's driving me crazy

(driving me crazy)

I got Pac-Man Fever

(Pac-Man Fever)

I'm going out of my mind

(going out of my mind)

I got Pac-Man Fever

(Pac-Man Fever)

I'm going out of my mind

(going out of my mind)

I got all the patterns down

up until the ninth key

I got Speedy on my tail

and I know it's either him or me

So I'm heading out the back

going in the other side

Gonna eat the cherries up

and take 'em all for a ride

CHORUS

I'm gonna bank to the left

then move to the right

'Cause Pokey's too slow

and Blinky's outta sight

Now I've got 'em on the run

and I'm looking for the high score

So it's once around the block

and I slide back out the side door

I'm really cooking now

eating everything in sight

All my money's gone

so I'll be back tomorrow night

CHORUS
