When the world is full of care
and every headline screams despair,
when all is rape, starvation, war
and life is vile...
Then there's a ceirtain thing I do
which I shall pass along to you,
that's always guaranteed to make me smile...
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 loo-oo-oony,
like an acid casuality,
or a moo-oo-nie,
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 fuck
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!
