Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh, so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you oh, dear
[Verse 2]
Are they trying to tell you something?
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not into pink, my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue
[Verse 3]
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened oh
It finally happened I'm slightly mad oh, dear
[Verse 4]
I'm one card short of a full deck
And not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not my usual top billing
[Verse 5]
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree oh, dear
[Verse 6]
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened uh-huh
It finally happened I'm slightly mad oh, dear
[Verse 7]
I'm knitting with only one needle
Unraveling fast it's true
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But, my dear, how about you?
[Verse 8]
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened oh, yes
It finally happened
[Verse 9]
I'm slightly mad
Just very slightly mad
And there you have it
