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!
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 I 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.
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 swinging.
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'd refuse to ride on all those double-decker buses
All because there was no
driver on the top.
What, no driver on the top?
Man, the chick is
twisted! Crazy! Moogie-shoogie! Flip city!
My analyst told me that I was
right out of my head.
But I said, ÒDear doctor I
think that it's you instead.
Because I've got a thing
that's unique and new
To prove that I'll have the
last laugh on you.
'Cause instead of one head
I've got two and you know two heads are better than one!Ó
