QUIETLY BONKERS
(Ted Dicks / Myles Rudge)


Bernard Cribbens - 1962






Here am I, going quietly bonkers
And 'cause why, I'm dreaming of you
Well, love's no joke when here there is a bloke like me
A-goin' quietly bonkers


Now and then I feel a trifle 'umpty
Such as when you're not in view
And did you know you got a fellah so that he's
A-goin' quietly bonkers


Love they said, heavens above they said
It's a heaven an' all
Well, if this is what they call Heaven
For the love of Mike, what's the other place like


Oh, can't you see I'm going quietly bonkers
More fool me, but what can I do
The way things are, I feel a proper Charlie
Till I know that you are goin' quietly bonkers too


(Instrumental Break)


A-goin' quietly bonkers


Love they said, heavens above they said
It's a heaven an' all
Well, if this is what they call Heaven
For the love of Mike, what's the other place like


Oh, can't you see I'm going quietly bonkers
More fool me, but what can I do
The way things are, I feel a proper Charlie
Till I know that you are goin' quietly bonkers
Are goin' quietly bonkers too
