Cause I was Jekyll Jekyl Hyde! | Arthur

S3E11b Arthur's Almost Live Not Real Music Festival

One day I went to the library
I found this book, it was great!
It was so cool I couldn't put it down
Even when it got pretty late!

That night I had a scary dream
I mixed my own secret potion
I added dirt, a bit of sludge, some eyes of flies
And a tiny dab of suntan lotion

I started shaking,
My legs were quaking,
My stomach aching,
My brain was breaking!

I started turning green;
Feeling mean;
It was like
In the story;

I was acting strange;
Quite deranged;
It was pure
Allegory!
"Allegory: a story where the characters stand for abstract ideas. For example, good and evil."

'Cause I was
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde!
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde!

When I awoke, I was me again
I hid the book out of sight
It was so cool I couldn’t keep away
So I took it out again that night

And then I dreamed we had this test in school
I gotta say it was weird.
We had to give the answers in semaphore
And for extra credit, grow a beard

I couldn’t take it,
Just couldn’t take it
In one swift motion,
I grabbed my potion!

I said: "Mr. Hyde
Has arrived!"
Tossed my flags on the floor;

Made a major speech;
To the teach':
"This is all a big bore!"!

I ran down all the halls,
Wrote on walls;
Even stole second base;

I was super bad;
Sure was glad
I wasn’t wearing my face!

''Cause I was
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde!
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde!

This was too much, I simply had to stop!
I threw that potion away! (Potion away)
But it didn’t matter if I drank the stuff;
I just kept on changing anyway! (Changing anyway)

Now I was
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde!

(Background laugh)
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll
Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde!

Just when it seemed there was no way out
I saw the book was overdue
The book lady said “Are you returning?”;
I thought and I said: “No---RENEW!"!

Jekyll, Jekyll Hyde, Jekyll Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll.
Jekyll, Jekyll Hyde, Jekyll Hyde!!
Jekyll, Jekyll Hyde, Jekyll Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll.
Jekyll, Jekyll Hyde, Jekyll Hyde!!
Jekyll, Jekyll Hyde, Jekyll Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll.
Jekyll, Jekyll Hyde, Jekyll Hyde!!
