Beleeka Doodle Day
Al Stewart

I could have gone to Cambridge with Lionel

I think I tried to raise a pound

Just to see the University

And find the scenes she hung around


Is your mind a menagerie

Perhaps, I mean it's hard to say

A pterodactyl built its nest on me

I'm feeling strange but quite OK

On this beleeka doodle day


Archimedes and his orchestra

Loudly disapprove of life

Got mad when I called them unmusical

Tried to land me with a wife


Out in San Francisco's wonderland

The purple poet kneels to pray

But I just hang around your city and

I don't have anything to say

On this beleeka doodle day


I had a week once in Italy

With Mike and Robin and some songs

I had a girl once in Sweden but

I haven't seen her for too long


I drift down to the Cousins and

The usual people were all there

I saw a girl in the soft red light

I smiled but she looked away

On my beleeka doodle day


I wrote a song just before the dawn

And then I lost it now its gone

I spent all day playing Monopoly

It seemed to feel like getting on


Sometimes I wonder how it feels to be

Paul McCartney or the Queen

I wonder how they'd feel if they were me

I think its gonna start to rain

On this beleeka doodle day


Oh Jack the Ripper and Hippocrates

They're out to get me in the end

I think they'll find me by the ruined trees

Without a candle or a friend

Then they'll bring me to the wizard's cave

Softly mould me into clay

And lock me in with no telephone

And laugh and throw the keys away

On my beleeka doodle day


So to Avril and I would like to give

My thanks for lending me your room

I stayed one night, ah but I had to go

I think I'll maybe come back soon


Of all the girls that I have ever known

There wasn't one who didn't play

They came and went just like the newspapers

And left me here to find my way

Through my beleeka doodle day
