A Pizza Got Me High

A Pizza Got Me High

(Parody of Statue Got Me High by They Might Be Giants)

A pizza got me high
A pizza got me high
It sent a load of glucose to my bloodstream, sigh

Too much sugar could make me die
Too many carbs can get me high
I put the strip in the meter and stick out my hand prick my finger

The CGM beeped at me
It shows me numbers I don't want to see
Always too loud to not be heard
Everyone in the house got the alert

Though once I preferred a meat lovers Pizza pie
I'll start to shake when the pizza gets me high

The pizza got me high
The pizza got me high
They say that numbers don't matter
But when you're a diabetic that's a lie

Can't eat much that's fried
Can't eat much that's fried
I carry pens in my pocket to stick into my thigh

That donut called to me
And now spots in front of my eyes I see
The alert that came was absurd
311 and all the world heard

As the ambulance siren filled the air
The evidence of that donut vanished from my hand as they walked me in that chair

And now it is my turn
To hear what that the doc said and the lessons to be learned
That alert will call to you
If you refuse to do what you need to do

As the ambulance siren filled the air
The evidence of that donut vanished from my hand as they walked me in that chair

And what I found when the pizza got me high...
Is you got to adjust your insulin so the pizza doesn't get you high.
