Some time ago a crazy dream came to me,

I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three,

I went to the doctor the very next day

To see what kinda words he could say.

He said it was a bad dream.

I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though,

They were my own dreams and they're only in my head.



I said, "Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain."

He said, "Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane,"

He grabbed my arm, I said "Ouch!"

As I landed on the psychiatric couch,

He said, "Tell me about it."



Well, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast,

It was all over by quarter past.

I was down in the sewer with some little lover

When I peeked out from a manhole cover

Wondering who turned the lights on.



Well, I got up and walked around

And up and down the lonesome town.

I stood a-wondering which way to go,

I lit a cigarette on a parking meter

And walked on down the road.

It was a normal day.



Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell

And I leaned my head and I gave a yell,

"Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man."

A shotgun fired and away I ran.

I don't blame them too much though,

I know I look funny.



Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand

I seen a man, I said, "Howdy friend,

I guess there's just us two."

He screamed a bit and away he flew.

Thought I was a Communist.



Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,

"Let's go and play Adam and Eve."

I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'

When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',

You see what happened last time they started."



Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown

And there was nobody aroun',

I got into the driver's seat-ac
