Neil Innes-How Sweet to be an idiot

Para que se hagan una idea de quién es Neil Innes. Un habitual de la tele británica, autor de muchas de las canciones de Monty Python, como la tronchante Every Sperm is sacred, o Galaxy Song. Colaborador del Flying Circus.
Autor del himno I'm the urban spaceman de los Bonzo dog doo dah Band, un tipo que podia haber sido un compositor serio pero gris, y que eligio consagrar su talento compositivo al muy ingles humor nonsense. Con ustedes How sweet to be an idiot, una de sus mejores canciones, pero uno de sus peores videos. Muy setentero, pero sin gags:

Lyrics

How sweet to be an idiot
As harmless as a cloud
Too small to hide the sun
Almost poking fun
At the warm but insecure
untidy crowd

How sweet to be an idiot
And dip my brain in joy
Children laughing at my back
With no fear of attack
As much retaliation as a toy
How sweet to be an idiot
How sweet

I tiptoe down the street
Smile at everyone I meet
But suddenly a scream
smashes through my dream
Fee fi fo fum,
I smell the blood of an asylum
Blood of an asylum?
But mother, I'm playing so beautifully!
Ha ha! Listen! Ha ha!
Fee fi fo fum,
I smell the blood of an asylum
Hey you!
You're such a pedant!
You got as much brain as a dead ant!
As much imagination as a caravan site!

But I still love you,
still love you,
oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, how swee-ee-eet
to be an idiot

How sweet

How sweeeeeeeeeeee - *t*

How-ow-ow sweeeet
