"The Logical Song" lyrics

Ah, ah, ah

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
Oh, a miracle
Oh, it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees
Well, they were singing so happily
J-j-j-joyfully
Oh, playfully watching me

But-But-But-But-But-But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
L-l-l-logical
Oh, responsible, practical

And then they showed me a world
Where I could be dependable
C-c-c-clinical
Oh, intellectual, cynical

There are times
When all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man

Won't you please
Please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am

Now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
A l-l-liberal
Oh, fanatical, criminal

Oh, won't you sign up your name?
We'd like to feel you're acceptable
R-r-respectable
Oh, presentable, a vegetable
Take it, take it, take it, yeah!

But at night
When all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man

Won't you please
Please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am

L-l-l-l-l-l-logical!

C-c-c-criminal!

R-r-r-r-r-respectable!

Ooh!

Oh, logical, oh!
