Idiot Song
Neil Innes
G Fadd9 C/E Cm/D# D4 D
G Bm/F# Em Em7/D
How sweet to be an idiot
C Em/B D#dim
As harmless as a cloud
Em B
Too small to hide the sun
Am D4 D
Almost poking fun
G Bm/F# Em
At the warm but insecure
Em7/D Am D4 D
Untidy crowd
G Bm/F# Em Em7/D
How sweet to be an idiot
C Em/B D#dim
And dip my brain in joy
Em B
Children laughing at my back
Am D4 D
With no fear of attack
G Bm/F# Em
As much retaliation
Em7/D Am D4 D
As a toy
G Bm/F# Em D
How sweet to be an idiot
G Fadd9 C/E Cm/D# D4 D
How sweet
D
I tiptoe down the street
Smile at everyone I meet
G G6 G7 G6 G7 G6
G G6 G7 G6 G7 G6
A
But suddenly a scream
B
Smashes through my dream
E
Fee fi fo fum
I smell the blood of an asylum
Am Am/G D9/F# Fmaj7
E
Fee fi fo fum
I smell the blood of an asylum
Am Am/G
Hey you! You're such a pedant
D9/F# Fmaj7
You got as much brain as a dead ant
E
As much imagination as a caravan site!
D D7
But I still love you. Still love you
G Bm/F# Em D
How sweet to be an idiot
G Fadd9 C/E Cm/D# D4 D G4 G
How sweet
