When you use your game boy
When you get a new toy
Can't just pick it up and play
Unless it's got a plug,
Then you are out of luck
If you can't find some double-A's

If you need a flashlight
So you can see at night
What you want are batteries
You like electronics?
You don't need no phonics
All you need are batteries
Buy a pack of sixty,
They are something that you need

Batteries
Batteries

If you want your music,
And you're about to lose it
Cause you cannot play CD's
It's okay, don't panic
Don't have to get manic
Just pop in some batteries

I know all about them
Where'd I be without them?
Man, those things are great, you see?
Need them for alarm clocks
Making them go "tick-tock,"
Everyone needs batteries
Thank batteries kindly
Batteries are good to me

Batteries

(Gutiar solo)

Oh, 6-, 9-, and 12-volt
Giving you a big jolt
Lots and lots of energy
For when the need rises,
They come in all sizes
Everywhere from A to D

They are in your cell phone
Also help your car go
It's just too bad that they're not free
10 bucks for a dozen
That's a high price cousin
But we all need batteries
Gee, it would be sucky
If batteries would cease to be

Batteries
