Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain was always winnin´,
I can´t keep tabs on mine, it´s really quite a joke
I see him down the road, I ask if he´d be willing

To lend me 15p - I´m dying for a smoke
Don´t arrange to have me sent to no asylum
I´m just as sane as anyone
It´s a just a game I play for fun - for fun.
I told em - look! - I said I´m not the way you´re thinkin,
Just when I´m down, I´ll be a clown, I´ll play the fool.
Please don´t arrange to have me set to no asylum
It´s just a game I play for fun - for fun.
Will he take a sailboat ride?
He is very likely to,
Will he feel good inside?
He ain´t very likely to,
Will he tell you he´s alive?
He is always trying to
But nothin´, no nothin´, does he say
In the morning when the day´s begun

- "Hello Good morning, how are you?"
And in the evening or the noonday sun
- "What a lovely afternoon!"
Well I´ve been living next to you

Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here,
When they haunt me and taunt me in my cage.
I mock them all, they´re feelin´ small, they got no answer
They´re playin´ dumb but I´m just lauging as they rage
Don´t arrange to have me sent to no asylum
It´s only a game I play for fun
I´ve been foolin´ everyone - everyone.
Will he take a sailboat ride?
He is very likely to
Will he feel good inside?
He ain´t ever likely to

Will he tell you he´s alive?
He is always tryin´ to
But nothin´, no nothin´ does he ever say
In the morning when the day´s begun
- "Do you think it looks like rain"?
And in the evening or the noonday sun
- "You know I nearly missed my train"
Well I´ve been living next to you my friend
But what kind of friend are you?
Is it the beginning or the sorry end?
Will I ever see it through?
I´ve never been insane
Oh what´s the game?
I believe I´m dying...
He´s mad, mad, mad...
Not quite right...
Oooooooooo..............
