I’m Going Slightly Mad Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh, so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you, oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not in the pink, my dear
To be honest, you haven't got a clue
[Chorus]
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened, oh-woah
It finally happened, I'm slightly mad
Oh dear, hahaha
[Verse 2]
I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not at my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree
Oh, dear
[Chorus]
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
Finally, happened, uh huh
Finally, happened, I'm slightly mad
Oh dear
[Guitar Solo]
Oo-oo-ah-ah, oo-oh-ah-ah
[Verse 3]
I'm knitting with only one needle
Unravelling fast, it's true
I'm driving only three wheels these days
But my dear, how about you?
[Chorus]
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened, oh yes
It finally happened, I'm slightly mad
Just very slightly mad
[Outro]
And there you have it
(Hahaha!)
