Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain was always winnin',
I can't keep tabs on mine, it's really quite a joke
I see him down the road, I ask if he'd be willing
To lend me 15p - I'm dying for a smoke
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
I'm just as sane as anyone
It's a just a game I play for fun - for fun.
I told em - look! - I said I'm not the way you're thinkin,
Just when I'm down, I'll be the clown, I'll play the fool.
Please don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
I'm just as sane as anyone It's just a game I play for fun - for fun.
Will he take a sailboat ride?
He is very likely to,
Will he feel good inside?
Well he ain't very likely to,
Will he tell you he's alive?
Ya he is always trying to
But nothin', no no nothin', does he say
In the morning when the day's begun
- "Hello Good morning, how are you?"
And in the evening or the noonday sun
- "What a lovely afternoon!"
Well I've been living next to you
Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here,
When they haunt me and they taunt me in my cage.
I mock them all, they're feelin' small, they got no answer
Ya they're playin' dumb but I'm just laughing as they rage
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
It's only a game I play for fun
Ya I've been tryin' to fool everyone - everyone.
Will he take a sailboat ride?
well he is very likely to
Will he feel good inside?
Ya he ain't ever likely to
Will he tell you he's alive?
Well he is always tryin' to
But nothin', no no nothin' does he ever say
Yaa In the morning when the day's begun
- "Do you think it looks like rain"?
And in the evening or the noonday sun
- "You know I nearly missed my train"
Well I've been living next to you my friend
But what kind of friend are you?
Is it the beginning or the sorry end?
Will I ever see it through?
I've never been insane
Oh what's the game?
I believe I'm dying...
He's mad, mad, mad...
Not quite right...Not quite right...
Wooooooooo..............
