"When you hear the beep It will be three o'clock," She said that for over an hour And I hung it up. So I called up the operator of time Just to hear a voice of some kind. I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue, I needed somebody to talk to. Turned on my player- It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin', "Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa, Our Loves Are Gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah." But I didn't pay my Con Ed bill, So the radio didn't work so well.

Well, I remember seein' some ad, So I turned on my Conelrad. Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown And there was nobody aroun', I got into the driver's seat And I drove 42nd Street In my Cadillac. Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave, "Let's go and play Adam and Eve." I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin' When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin', You see what happened last time they started."

I don't blame them too much though, I know I look funny.ĭown at the corner by a hot-dog stand I seen a man, I said, "Howdy friend, I guess there's just us two." He screamed a bit and away he flew. Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell And I leaned my head and I gave a yell, "Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man." A shotgun fired and away I ran. I stood a-wondering which way to go, I lit a cigarette on a parking meter And walked on down the road. Well, I got up and walked around And up and down the lonesome town. I was down in the sewer with some little lover When I peeked out from a manhole cover Wondering who turned the lights on. Well, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast, It was all over by quarter past. I said, "Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain." He said, "Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane," He grabbed my arm, I said "Ouch!" As I landed on the psychiatric couch, He said, "Tell me about it." I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though, They were my own dreams and they're only in my head. Some time ago a crazy dream came to me, I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three, I went to the doctor the very next day To see what kinda words he could say.
