Manchester England
Galt MacDermot, Gerome Ragni, James Rado
Manchester England England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That's me, that's me
Claude Hooper Bukowski
Finds that it's groovy
To hide in a movie
Pretends he's Fellini
And Antonioni
And also his countryman Roman Polanski
All rolled into one (one what?)
One Claude Hooper Bukowski
Now that I've dropped out
Why is life dreary dreary
Answer my weary query
Oh, Timothy Leary, dearie
Oh, Manchester England England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius, genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That's me (that's he)
That's me (that's he)
That's me (that's he)
That's me!
