 My analyst told  me that I was right out  of my head
 The way he de-scribed  it he said I’d be better dead than live
 I didn’t listen to his jive
 I knew  all along that he was all wrong
 And I knew  that he thought
 I was crazy but I’m not,  oh, no
 My analyst told  me that I was right out  of my head
 He said I need treatment  but I’m not that easily led
 He said  I was the type that was most inclined
 When out  of his sight to be out of my mind
 And he thought  I was nuts
 No more ifs or ands or buts
 They say  as a child I ap-peared
 A little bit wild with all my cra-zy  ideas
 But I knew what was happening
 I knew I  was a genius
 What’s so strange when you know
 That you’re a wiz-ard  at three?
 I knew that this was meant to be
 Now I heard  little children
 Were sup-posed  to sleep tight
That’s  why I got into the vodka one night
 My parents  got frantic, didn’t know what to do
 But I saw  some crazy scenes before I came to
 Now do you  think I was crazy?
 I may have been only three but I was swingin’
 They all laughed at A.  Graham Bell
 They all laughed at Edison
 And also  at Einstein
 So why should I feel sorry if they just  couldn’t understand
 The idiomatic logic that went on  in my head?
 I had a brain, it  was insane
 Oh,  they used to laugh at me
 When I  refused to ride on all those double-decker  buses
 All be-cause  there was no dri-ver  at the top
 My analyst told  me that I was right out  of my head
 But I said, “Dear doc-tor,  I think that it’s you instead
 Because I  have got a thing that’s unique and new
 To prove  it I’ll have the last laugh on you
 ‘Cause in-stead  of one head,  I got two
 And you know two heads are better than one”

I didn’t listen to his jive
I [D9]knew all along that he was all [B7]wrong
And I [Em7]knew that he thought
