Lyrics Twisted:
My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
The way he described it, he said I'd be better dead than alive
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no!

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment but I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type that was most inclined
When out of his sight to be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts, no more ifs or ands or buts
Oh no!

They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happenin', I knew I was a genius
What's so strange when you know that you're a wizard at three?
I knew that this was meant to be

Well I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight
That's why I drank a fifth of vodka one night
My parents got frantic, didn't know what to do
But I saw some crazy scenes before I came to
Now do you think I was crazy?
I may have been only three but I was swingin'

They all laughed at Al Graham Bell
They all laughed at Edison and also at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry if they just couldn't understand
The litany and the logic that went on in my head?
I had a brain, it was insane
So don't you let them laugh at me
When I refused to ride on all those double decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
The way he described it, he said I'd be better dead than alive
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no!

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
But I said "Dear doctor, I think that it's you instead
'Cause I have got a thing that's unique and new
It proves that I'll have the last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head... I got two
And you know two heads are better than one"

@Griwhoolda The tune was written by Saxophonist Wardell Gray. Annie Ross wrote the lyrics. They lyrics are written to the head of the tune and Wardell Gray's solo, transcribed from a circa 1948 recording.

Love this sings, great animation too. :) Annie Ross is playing live in Scotland this month to celebrate the premiere of a film about her life at the Glasgow Film Festival. :)

Annie ross is the Queen of Scottish jazz, a rare talent who was loved by Ella, dated Lenny Bruce, appeared in theatre in London and on Broadway as well as Hollywood movies. At 81 she still regularly performs live at the Metropolitan in NYC.

This is a great animation for a unique piece!
