When the world is full of care
And every headline screams despair,
All is rape, starvation, war and life is vile.
Then there’s a certain thing I do
Which I shall pass along to you,
That’s always guaranteed to make me smile.
Yes!
I go loo-oo-oony as a light-bulb battered bug!
Simply loo-oo-oony, sometimes foam and chew the rug!
Mister, life is swell
In a padded cell,
It’ll chase those blues away:
You can trade your gloom
For a rubber room
And injections twice a day!
Just go loony like an acid casualty,
Or a moonie, or a preacher on TV.
When the human race
Wears an anxious face,
When the bomb hangs overhead,
When your kid turns blue,
It won’t worry you,
You can smile and nod instead.
When you’re loo-oo-oony, then you just don’t give a fig,
Man’s so pu-uu-uny, and the universe so big!
If you hurt inside,
Get certified,
And if life should treat you bad
Don't get ee-ee-even, get mad!
Yes!
