official theme song
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 alive
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
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 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 laughed at Edison
and also at Einstein
so why should I be 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 those double decker buses
all because there was no driver on the top
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
