Lyrics

My analyst told me (What?)
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it (How?)
He said I'd be better dead than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along, he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought (What?)
I was crazy, but I'm not
Oh no (Oh no?) (Oh no?)
My analyst told me (What?)
That I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment (Yeah?)
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 (Nuts?)
No more ifs or ands or buts
Oh no (Oh no?) (Oh no?)
They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happenin', 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
But I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight (Doo, doo, doo)
That's why I drank a fifth of vodka one night (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
My parents got frantic, didn't know what to do (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
But I saw some crazy scenes before I came to (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
Now do you think I was crazy? (Doo, doo, doo, doo)
I may have been only three, but I was swingin' (Doo, doo, doo)
They all laughed at A. Graham Bell (Bop, bop, bop, bop)
They all laughed at Edison and also at Einstein (Bop, bop, bop, bop)
So why should I feel sorry if they just couldn't understand (Bop, bop, bop, bop)
The reasoning and the logic that went on in my head? (Bop, bop, bop, bop)
I had a brain, it was insane, so I just let them laugh at me (Bop, bop, bop, bop)
When I refused to ride on all the double-decker buses (Bop, bop, bop, bop)
All because there was no driver on the top
No driver on the top? This chick is twisted, what's the matter with her? (She must be out of her head)
My analyst told me (What?)
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it (How?)
He said I'd be better dead that live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along, he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought (What?)
I was crazy, but I'm not
Oh no (Oh no?) (Oh no?)
My analyst told me (What?)
That I was right out of my head
But I said, dear doctor (Yeah?)
I think that it's you instead, 'cause I
Have got a thing that's unique and new
It proves that I'll have the last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head (One head?)
Oh, I got two
And you know two heads are better than one
