Well, madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat

                                                                        Em

In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat

                                                                              B7

With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round

                                                                                 Em

With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground



                                       B7

Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands Em

And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand

                                                                                              

Now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand

                                       Em

And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, "Daddy's within earshot, save the 

buckshot, turn up the band"



                                                                     B7

We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the light

                                                                      Em
