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”
