Barmy
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.
Out of England, I dream of its creamery
When I'm there I dwell on Saxony.
In Turkey when I've been due to World War I
Istanbul is the place 'cos of my birthday.
I am barmy
Bleedin' barmy
I got everything
I got everything I want except for hungry
I got everything I want except for money.
I've got the best round set aside for parties
They'll have one when I've gone
In fact, they said so, good one.
I am barmy
Bleedin' barmy
Friends disintegrate within circles of cash
Residue after years of fab genius
Is a pension for the jews
and a medal from the company which I wiped my butt on
and hung on a laburnum tree.
I am barmy
Bleedin' barmy
I am barmy
Bleedin' barmy
Just call me the first
[repeat 10 times]
I lay waiting hopefully on sloped grass green
I am barmy, bleedin' barmy
A dramatic verse
[repeat 3 times]
The programs lot
We break into tune
Take and bring a word
Ring a buzzer
Take and bring a word ( " )
A dramatic verse
