where have all my pencils gone it is very odd
wheres the finder herculese that waves and he nods
it is very strange and also odd indeed
late at night i toss and i turn and i dream of what i need

i need a biro
im looking out for a biro till the end of the night
its gotta be strong and its gotta draw fast
and its gotta have blue ink to write
i need a biro
im looking out for a biro in the morning light
i gotta have four and its gotta be soon
and its gotta have a very long life
very long life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's a biro just right for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
hurry or my homeworks gonna be incomplete

i need a biro
im looking out for a biro till the end of the night
its gotta be strong and its gotta draw fast
and its gotta have blue ink to write
i need a biro
im looking out for a biro in the morning light
i gotta have four and its gotta be soon
and its gotta have a very long life
very long life

in the mountains in my coat or glove
im lookung for a pen i can see
i can swear that the pen is real watching me
im sure someone can explain
if they ran or they stood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood

i need a biro
im looking out for a biro till the end of the night
its gotta be strong and its gotta draw fast
and its gotta have blue ink to write
i need a biro
im looking out for a biro in the morning light
i gotta have four and its gotta be soon
and its gotta have a very long life
very long life
