Every now and then I go deep inside my mind Just to have a little rest And see what I can find I don't go in there often It dark and I must say That sometimes I'm afraid That I may lose my way
There's a little corner café Where Groucho sits alone Stan Laurel sits there writing gags And Greta Garbo sits and moans Sinatra sings for all of them John Lennon talks to God Brian Jones gives swimming lessons There's Liz Taylor and Mike Todd
Over in the distance At a table in the corner Hemmingway sells movie scripts To mogul man Jack Warner Elvis does a hip shake Ruth and Gherig playing catch Bud and Lou do Who's on First Humphrey Bogart lights a match
Charles Dickens playing darts A red balloon comes floating by Andy Warhol sits with Nico Where German pop songs go to die Marilyn and James Dean Sit quietly talking on the stairs John Kennedy and his brother Bob Just pretend that they are both not there
Chico plays piano and Harpo with his harp Bad jokes float around the room being told by silent stars Phil Everly and Phil Ramone They're new here so they're woozy Sit talking of the songs they'll miss Rick Nelson sings of Susie
You see it is a mad mad place in my head when I may wander I don't go in too deep And I've met Henry Fonda There's images, and icons Family, and friends on a little street inside my head That's a circle with no ends
