I wanna be committed

I wanna be committed

I thought I was a space-age cowboy

I thought I was a sweet and sour chow-boy

I thought I was a thinker

A juvenile drinker

I thought I had some kind of a brain

'Til they told me I was just a rumor

A cheap and nasty looner

Well, it turned out I was just insane

I wanna be committed, insanity permitted

I wanna be committed for my mind

I wanna be committed, don't let me be remitted

I wanna be committed if you don't mind

Well, at the dance last Saturday night

He was a rockin' and a rollin'

And holding her tight

'Till he got his hands on her

But when he started out to play

She kept pushing him away and he got a funny feeling

He was walking on the ceiling

And someone was heard to say, "If you don't mind, Sir"

I don't mind"

I thought I was a teenage dream-boy

With a brain made of solid plastic alloy

I thought I was a tripper, there ain't nobody hipper

But it turned out I was going down the drain

I wanna be committed, insanity permitted

I wanna be committed for my mind

I wanna be committed, don't let me be remitted

I wanna be committed if you don't mind

I wanna be committed

Insanity permitted

I wanna be committed for my mind

I wanna be committed

I wanna be committed

I wanna be committed for my mind
