The Logical Song

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful

A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily

Hm, joyfully, oh playfully watching me

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible

Logical, responsible, practical

And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable

Clinical, intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep

The questions run too deep

For such a simple man

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned

I know it sounds absurd

But please tell me who I am, who I am

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical

Liberal, fanatical, criminal

Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable

Respectable, presentable, a vegetable (a vegetable)

At night, when all the world's asleep

The questions run too deep

For such a simple man

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned

I know it sounds absurd

But please tell me who I am
