Screwy Music

At the State Asylum, on the second floor
I talked with a patient, Room 234
I said, "You don't look crazy, can't see why you're here"
He sort of looked at me and smiled, and whispered in my ear

I'm nuts about screwy music
I'm screwy 'bout nutty rhythm
I'm dilly over all silly melodies, crazy as a loon can be

I'm daffy 'bout goofy tempo
I'm goofy 'bout daffy changes
I'm dippy over all dizzy harmony, written in a minor key

I love to hear sounds that are queer, I'm eccentric, they say
There's a boot in a flute or a mellow moon in cello

I'm nuts about screwy music
I'm screwy 'bout nutty rhythm
I'm dilly over all silly melodies, crazy as a loon can be
Uh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho

I love to hear sounds that are queer, I'm eccentric, they say
There's a boot in a flute or a mellow moon in cello

I'm nuts about screwy music
I'm screwy 'bout nutty rhythm
I'm dilly over all silly melodies, crazy as a loon can be
Uh-ha-ha-ha-ha
