[Verse 1]
I dreamed I had a fever
I was pushing 103
My mom's all upset, crying by my bedside
Everybody's praying for me
I hear a scratching at the window
I somehow twist myself around
I realize, I'm eyes to eyes
With the fella in the brite nitegown
[Chorus]
Brite Nitegown
Brite Nitegown
You can't fight with the fella
In the brite nitegown
[Verse 2]
The eagle flies on Friday
My baby wants to bash
I hit the ATM and march down the street
With a roll of party cash
Right then a couple lit up brothers
They put me on the ground
They do the steal and leave me to deal
With the fella in the brite nitegown
[Chorus]
*Instrumental break*
[Verse 3]
Ten milligrams of Chronax
Will whip you back through time
Past Hebrew kings and furry things
To the birth of humankind
I shared in all of nature's secrets
But when I finally came around
I'm sitting on the rug getting a victory hug
From the fella in the Brite Nitegown
Chorus (continuously sung until fade out)
