Bats in my belfry and rain on my roof
Even my teddy bear stays so aloof
Flies that go walking on leashes so long
Even my parakeet wears a sarong
Sometimes I wonder, but mostly I dont
I always say "yes" but usually I wont
Elephants flying way off to the moon
Even my sun dials stuck at high noon

Signs that say "quiet" and yo-yos on strings
Ride on the carousel, grab the brass rings
Aches that I feel on my window pane
Rolled-up umbrellas are out in the rain
Boxes that herald: "Please stand in a line"
Tarzans are riding on the 6:20 vine
Mostly I end up with egg on my face
I cant keep the bulbs lit in my fireplace

Bats in my belfry, polars are bear
Polish the cannon in the town square
Well all take a ride on my new pogo stick [bad word] the night nurse! Cover up, quick!
Thoughts that need thinking like spring has been [bad word] Fantasy helps all of us to think young
Everyone knows that penguins go formal
So whos there among us to say who is normal?
