  • 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'd 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 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 laugh 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

    (What, no driver on the top?)
    (Man, the chick is twisted
    (Crazy, boop-shooby, hair flip city)

    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 have 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" Writer/s: Annie Ross Annabelle Short, Wardell Gray
