You walk into the room With your pencil in your hand You see somebody naked And you say, âWho is that man?â You try so hard
But you donât understand Just what youâll say When you get home
Because something is happening here But you donât know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
You raise up your head And you ask, âIs this where it is?â And somebody points to you and says âItâs hisâ And you say, âWhatâs mine?â And somebody else says, âWhere what is?â And you say, âOh my God Am I here all alone?â
Because something is happening here
But you donât know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
You hand in your ticket And you go watch the geek Who immediately walks up to you When he hears you speak And says, âHow does it feel To be such a freak?â And you say, âImpossibleâ As he hands you a bone
Because something is happening here But you donât know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
You have many contacts Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts When someone attacks your imagination But nobody has any respect Anyway they already expect you To just give a check To tax-deductible charity organizations
Youâve been with the professors And theyâve all liked your looks With great lawyers you have Discussed lepers and crooks Youâve been through all of F. Scott Fitzgeraldâs books Youâre very well read Itâs well known
Because something is happening here But you donât know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you And then he kneels He crosses himself And then he clicks his high heels And without further notice He asks you how it feels And he says, âHere is your throat back Thanks for the loanâ
Because something is happening here But you donât know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
Now you see this one-eyed midget Shouting the word âNOWâ And you say, âFor what reason?â
And he says, âHow?â And you say, âWhat does this mean?â And he screams back, âYouâre a cow Give me some milk Or else go homeâ
Because something is happening here But you donât know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, you walk into the room Like a camel and then you frown You put your eyes in your pocket And your nose on the ground There ought to be a law Against you cominâ around You should be made To wear earphones
Because something is happening here But you donât know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
