Lyrics
I'm Going Slightly Mad
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Are they trying to tell you something?
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened, ooh, oh
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad
Oh, dear
I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not my usual top billing
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
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
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah
I'm knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast it's true
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But, my dear, how about you?
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened, oh, yes
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad
Just very slightly mad
And there you have it
