How sweet to be an idiot   As harmless as a cloud   Too small to hide the sun   Almost poking fun   At the warm but insecure   untidy crowd      How sweet to be an idiot   And dip my brain in joy   Children laughing at my back   With no fear of attack   As much retaliation as a toy   How sweet to be an idiot   How sweet      I tiptoe down the street   Smile at everyone I meet   But suddenly a scream   smashes through my dream   Fee fi fo fum,   I smell the blood of an asylum   Blood of an asylum?   But mother, I'm playing so beautifully!   Ha ha! Listen! Ha ha!   Fee fi fo fum,   I smell the blood of an asylum   Hey you!   You're such a pedant!   You got as much brain as a dead ant!   As much imagination as a caravan site!      But I still love you,   still love you,   oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, how swee-ee-eet   to be an idiot      How sweet      How sweeeeeeeeeeee - *t*      How-ow-ow sweeeet
