He's unimaginative at his best but you know that's all right   We like the way he sings   He's unimaginative at his work but we say that that's ok   He's made for better things   He's not intelligent, we like the way he dances, yeah   But you wanna talk about this, and talk about that   And everything he says is just impossibly fast   He's never that bad, he's never that good   He's always just a little bit and over understood   And you say, "He's un-American, a little bit."   And you think that's so cool   You like a little bit, and if he's un-American a little bit   Then you think that he's no fool   Not matter if he is   So alternative, he likes to take our chances   And you wanna talk about this, talk about that   And everything he said is just impossibly crass   He's never that bad, he's never that good   He's always just a little bit and over understood   And you say, "He's not intelligent, we like the way he dances."   He's hearing voices he can't attribute to the ordinary noise   What do you swallow to relax you ordinarily?   He's looking forward to a little rest   But you know that he's so tired   He's fallen in a jar   And everybody's sympathetic more or less even if he's either bombed or wired   It's just the way we are   He's so alternative, he likes the blue romances   But you wanna talk about this and talk about that   And everything he does is just impossibly fast   He's never that bad, he's never that good   He's always just a little bit and over understood   And you say, "he's so alternative, he like to take our chances."   He's hearing voices he can't attribute to the ordinary noise   What do you swallow to relax you ordinarily?   Who's gonna explain this mess to the mother of an ordinary boy?   who was expected to act extraordinarily   But you wanna talk about this, talk about that   And everything he says is just impossibly fast   He's never that bad, he's never that good   He's always just a little bit ah ah ah ah   I don't wanna talk about it, I don't wanna talk about it   I don't wanna talk about it, I don't wanna, I don't wanna   I don't wanna talk about it, I don't wanna talk about it   I don't wanna no no no no no no yeah
