[Verse 4]
I tiptoe down the street,
Smile at everyone I meet,

But suddenly a scream,
[B]Smashes through my dream,
[E]Fie fye foe fum,
I smell the blood of an [Am]asylum,
(Blood of an [C]asylum,
But mother I play so beauti[F#dim]fully,
listen. [F]ha ha)
[E]Fie fye foe fum,
I smell the blood of the asylum,
Hey [Am]you, you're such a [C]pedant,
You [F#dim]got as much brain as a dead [F]ant,
As [E]much imagination as a caravan sign.
But [D]I still

[Verse 5]
love you, still love you,
Oh how [G]sweet [Bm]to be an idio[Em]t,[D]
How [G]sweet.[F][C][Cm][Dsus4]
[D]how sweet. How [Gsus4]sweet.
