[Intro]
     G#This is a song with a message
G#I want you to heed my warning
[Verse 1]
G#I wanna tell you all a story, about this chick I know
They call her Amphetamine Annie, an' she's always shovelin' snow
C#I sat her down and told her, I told her crystal clear
G#I don't mind you gettin' high but there's one thing you should fear
Your mD#ind might think it's flyin' baby C#on those little pills      
                                       G#   D#N.C.
But you ought to know it's dyin' 'cause speed kills!
                                       [Yell "Speed Kills"]
[Verse 2] 
G#But Annie kept on speedin', her health was gettin' poor
She saw things in the window, she heard things at the door
Her mouth was like a grindin' mill, her lips where cracked and soar
G#her skin was turnin' yella', I just couldn't take it no more
She tD#hought her mind was flyin', C#on those little pills
                                              G#   D#N.C.
She didn't know it was going down fast, 'cause speed kills!

The whole wide human race has taken far too much meladrime
C#She said "I don't care what a limey says, I got to get it on

This is a song with a message

I want you to heed my warning

[Verse 1]

I wanna tell you all a story, about this chick I know

They call her Amphetamine Annie, an' she's always shovelin' snow

I sat her down and told her, I told her crystal clear

I don't mind you gettin' high but there's one thing you should fear

D# C#

Your mind might think it's flyin' baby on those little pills

G# D#

But you ought to know it's dyin' 'cause speed kills!

[Yell "Speed Kills"]

[Verse 2]

But Annie kept on speedin', her health was gettin' poor

She saw things in the window, she heard things at the door

Her mouth was like a grindin' mill, her lips where cracked and soar

She thought her mind was flyin', on those little pills

[Verse 3]

Well I sat her down and told her, I told her one more time

The whole wide human race has taken far too much meladrime

She said "I don't care what a limey says, I got to get it on

I'm not hip to the scene of the man who come from across the pond"

D# C#

She wouldn't heed my warnin', lord she wouldn't hear what I said

G# D#

Now she's in the grave yard, and she, awfully dead

(Yell "Awfully Dead")

[Outro]

Ya speed gonna kill you!

Speed from over the pond

There ain't no hope, baby
