Lyrics

How sweet to be an idiot As harmless as a cloud Too small to hide the sun Almost poking fun At the warm but insecure Untidy crowd How sweet to be an idiot And dip my brain in joy Children laughing at my back With no fear of attack As much retaliation as a toy How sweet to be an idiot How sweet I tiptoe down the street Smile at everyone I meet But suddenly a scream Smashes through my dream Fee fi fo fum, I smell the blood of an asylum Blood of an asylum? But mother, I'm playing so beautifully! Ha ha! Listen! Ha ha! Fee fi fo fum, I smell the blood of an asylum Hey you! You're such a pedant! You got as much brain as a dead ant! As much imagination as a caravan site! But I still love you, Still love you, Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, how swee-ee-eet To be an idiot How sweet How sweeeeeeeeeeee - *t* How-ow-ow sweeeet
