Pac-Man Fever Lyrics

"Pac-Man Fever" was the title song from an album put out by the group "Buckner & Garcia" in the early eighties. All of the songs on the album (and they were albums back then, not CDs) were about arcade video games, but the title cut was devoted to the little yellow guy himself.

Originally I wasn't going to put the song lyrics up, since every Pac-Man page on the Web already seems to have them, but somehow the site didn't seem complete without them, so here they are. :-)

Buckner & Garcia now has their own tribute site by the way, located at http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palms/9181/pacmanfeverindex.htm!

Pac-Man Fever

I gotta pocket full of quarters, and I'm headed to the arcade.
I don't have a lot of money but I'm bringing everything I've made.
I've gotta callus on my finger, and my shoulder's hurtin' too.
I'm gonna eat 'em all up, just as soon as they turn blue.

'Cause I've got Pac-Man Fever, Pac-Man Fever.
It's driving me crazy, driving me crazy.
I've got Pac-Man Fever, Pac-Man Fever.
I'm going out of my mind, going out of my mind.
I've got Pac-Man Fever, Pac-Man Fever.
I'm going out of my mind, going out of my mind.

I've got all the patterns down, up until the ninth key.
I've got Speedy on my tail, and I know it's either him or me.
So I'm heading out the back door, and in the other side.
Gonna eat the cherries up, and take 'em all for a ride.

'Cause I've got Pac-Man Fever, Pac-Man Fever.
It's driving me crazy, driving me crazy.
I've got Pac-Man Fever, Pac-Man Fever.
I'm going out of my mind, going out of my mind.
I've got Pac-Man Fever, Pac-Man Fever.
I'm going out of my mind, going out of my mind.

I'm gonna fake it to the left, and move to the right,
'Cause Pokey's too slow,and Blinky's out of sight.

Now I've got 'em on the run, and I'm looking for the high score.
So it's once around the block, and I'll slide back out the side door.
I'm really cookin' now, eating everything in sight.
All my money's gone, so I'll be back tommorow night.

'Cause I've got Pac-Man Fever, Pac-Man Fever.
It's driving me crazy, driving me crazy.
I've got Pac-Man Fever, Pac-Man Fever.
I'm going out of my mind, going out of my mind.
I've got Pac-Man Fever, Pac-Man Fever.
I'm going out of my mind, going out of my mind.
