I'm not crazy I swear to you I'm not I bet you every thing I have In all of my worldly possessions That I am the perfect vision of sanity (more or less) ignore the time when I banged my head against the wall like I was crazy and you need simply turn your head to the event when I started screaming and crying and wailing my heart out like I was crazy and if you would but strike from the record the time I broke down, and simply stopped Like I was crazy You would see With perfect clarity That I'm not crazy No My surroundings are simply crazy That is all And insanity is contagious Like laughter When one starts The rest all follow suit But on my own, Or away from here Observe me if you like And you will see With perfect clarity That my sanity Is in working order If there were papers on such things I would show them to you They would be a little wrinkled But clear and valid just the same So if you would kindly Turn around, and face the corner While I start pounding my fists against the wall And screaming about things that ought not be screamed about You will understand it When I say to you I am not crazy
