Lyrics
Is Dexter ill, is Dexter ill, is Dexter ill, is Dexter ill today?
No Mr. Kirk, Dexter's in school
I'm afraid he's not, Miss Fishpaw
Dexter's truancy problem is way out of hand
And the Baltimore County school board have decided to
Expel Dexter from the entire public school system
Why, Mr. Kirk, I'm as upset as you to learn of Dexter's truancy
But surely, expulsion is not the answer!
I'm afraid expulsion is the only answer
It's the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane
(That boy needs therapy) Psychosomatic
(That boy needs therapy) Purely psychosomatic
(That boy needs therapy) Lie down on the couch!
What does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? (That boy needs therapy)
I'm gonna kill you (That boy needs therapy)
Ranagazoo, let's have a tune
Now when I count three
That-, that-, that-, that-, that-, that bo- boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth
Avalanches is above, business continues below
Did I ever tell you the story about
(Cowboys!) M-m-midgets, the Indians and-
Fron- frontier psychiatrist
I felt strangely hypnotised
I was in another world, a world of twenty- twenty thousand girls
And milk! Rectangles, to an optometrist
The man with the golden eyeball
And tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin
I promise my girlfriend I'd- The violin (Violin, violin...)
Frontier psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier
Frontier psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier psychiatrist
(That boy needs therapy) Psychosomatic
(That boy needs therapy) Purely psychosomatic
(That boy needs therapy) Lie down on the couch
What does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? (That boy needs therapy)
I'm gonna kill you (That boy needs therapy)
Ranagazoo, let's have a tune
Now when I count three
That-, that-, that-, that-, that-, that bo- boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth
Frontier psychiatrist
Can you- Can you think of anything that talks
O- other than a person?
A-, a-, a-, a-, a-, a bird? (Yeah!)
Sometimes a parrot talks
Yes, some birds are funny when they talk
Can you think of anything else?
Uh, a record? (Record? Record? Record?)
