[Chorus 1]

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head

The way he described 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


[Chorus 2]

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


[Verse 1]

They say as a child, I appeared a little bit wild

With all my crazy ideas, but I knew what was happening

I knew I was a genius

What's so strange when you know that you're a wizard at three

I knew that this was meant to be


[Verse 2]

Now I heard little children were supposed 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'


[Verse 3]

They all laugh at angry young men

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 because there was no driver on the top


[Break]

What, no driver on the top?

Man, [?] twisted, crazy, [whoop-shoobie?], hair flip city


[Chorus 3]

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head

But I said, "Dear doctor, I think that it's you instead

Because I, I've got a thing that's unique and new

To prove it I'll have the last laugh on you

'Cause instead of one head, I got two

And you know two heads are better than one"
