Sometimes, just acknowledging that others feel the same way is enough to keep you sane.
Chorus
You’re driving me crazy
You’re driving me mad
I’ve lost all the marbles
The few that I had
You’re driving me bonkers
But what can I do
You’re driving me crazy
So I’ll do it to you
(adult verse)
I know that you hear me
I know that you’re there
When I speak you respond
With a dull vacant stare
I’ve called out your name now 48 times
What does it take?
Here comes 49
Chorus
(kid verse)
If I wasn’t here
How would you spend your time
Since you seem to enjoy
Running your life and mine
Your list of suggestions
Goes on without end
And you call out my name
Again and again…
Chorus
Somewhere there’s a family
That’s gentle and kind
Where parents don’t nag
And children always mind
They say that apples don’t fall far from the tree
My family’s a fruitcake
Filled with nuts like me
