Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain was always winnin'
I can't keep tabs on mine, it's really quite a joke
I see him down the road, I ask if he'd be willing
To lend me 15p I'm dying for a smoke
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
I'm just as sane as anyone
It's a just a game I play for fun for fun
I told em look I said I'm not the way you're thinkin
Just when I'm down, I'll be a clown, I'll play the fool
Please don't arrange to have me set to no asylum
It's just a game I play for fun for fun
Will he take a sailboat ride
He is very likely to
Will he feel good inside
He ain't very likely to
Will he tell you he's alive
He is always trying to
But nothin', no nothin', does he say
In the morning when the day's begun
Hello Good morning, how are you
And in the evening or the noonday sun
What a lovely afternoon
Well I've been living next to you
Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here
When they haunt me and taunt me in my cage
I mock them all, they're feelin' small, they got no answer
They're playin' dumb but I'm just lauging as they rage
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
It's only a game I play for fun
I've been foolin' everyone everyone
Will he take a sailboat ride
He is very likely to
Will he feel good inside
He ain't ever likely to
Will he tell you he's alive
He is always tryin' to
But nothin', no nothin' does he ever say
In the morning when the day's begun
Do you think it looks like rain
And in the evening or the noonday sun
You know I nearly missed my train
Well I've been living next to you my friend
But what kind of friend are you
Is it the beginning or the sorry end
Will I ever see it through
I've never been insane
Oh what's the game
I believe I'm dying
He's mad, mad, mad
Not quite right
Oooooooooo
