Ten Little Men With Feathers 1943

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 09 May 2002

I'm nutty as a fruitcake,
My mind's a perfect blank,
I'm ready for the nuthouse
and I've got you to thank.
'Cause ever since we parted
I'm a sorry sight,
Woe is me, you ought to see
What I see each night.

Butterflies wearing hobnail shoes
tramping across my bed
And ten little men with feathers
beating me on the head.
Elephants flying by in twos
changing from green to red
and ten little men with feathers
beating me on the head.
Flyin' fish go wingin'
giving me a fishy stare,
Alligators singing
'Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair'.
Oh what a way to try and snooze
you'll never know how I dread
The ten little men with feathers
beating me on the head.

Kangaroos on my chandelier
hanging there by a thread
and ten little men with feathers
beating me on the head.
Squirrels go running up my ear
feeding me crumbs of bread
and ten little men with feathers
beating me on the head.
Canaries singing basso
stepping on my little toes,
A bombardier mosquito
power diving on my nose.
Even the monkeys sneer and jeer
leaping across my head
and ten little men with feathers
beating me on the head.
