Version 1 of the lyrics

  You walk into the room  You walk into the room
  With your pencil in your hand  With your pencil in your hand
  You see somebody naked  You see somebody naked
1  And you say who is that man?       And you say, "Who is that man ?" 1
  You try so hard  You try so hard
  But you don't understand  But you don't understand
2  Just what you would've said   Just what you'll say       2
3  When you get home   When you get home. 3
      
4  Something            is happening         Because something is happening here 4
  But you don't know what it is  But you don't know what it is
5  Do you Mister Jones?      Do you, Mister Jones ? 5
      
6  You sneak into the window   You raise up your head 6
7  And you say, "Is this where it is?"       And you ask, "Is this where it is ?" 7
8  Somebody           points his finger at you   And somebody points to you and says 8
9  And says, "It's his"               "It's his" 9
10  And you say, "What's mine?"       And you says, "What's mine ?" 10
11  Someone           else says, "Where what is?"   And somebody else says,                     11
12  And you say, "Oh my God, am I here all alone?"   "Where what is ?"                                      12
1  And you say, "Oh my God1
2  Am I here all alone ?"2
      
13  Something            is happening         But something is happening here 13
  But you don't know what it is  But you don't know what it is
14  Do you Mister Jones?      Do you, Mister Jones ? 14
      
  You hand in your ticket  You hand in your ticket
15  And you go see the geek   And you go watch the geek 15
16  Who              walks up to you   Who immediately walks up to you 16
  When he hears you speak  When he hears you speak
  And says, "How does it feel  And says, "How does it feel
17  To be such a freak?"       To be such a freak ?" 17
  And you say, "Impossible"  And you say, "Impossible"
18  As he hands you a bone   As he hands you a bone. 18
      
19  Something            is happening         And something is happening here 19
20  And you don't know what it is   But you don't know what it is 20
21  Do you Mister Jones?      Do you, Mister Jones ? 21
      
  You have many contacts  You have many contacts
22  Out there among the lumberjacks   Among               the lumberjacks 22
  To get you facts  To get you facts
  When someone attacks your imagination  When someone attacks your imagination
23  But no one has any respect   But nobody      has any respect 23
24  Anyway they just expect        Anyway they already expect you 24
25  You to hand over your check   To all give a       check 25
26  To tax deductible charity organizations   To tax-deductible                                     26

4  You've been with the professors4

27  The      sword swallower walks up to you   Well, the sword swallower,                     27
28  And he kneels                     he comes up to you 28

35  You crawl into the room           Now you see this one-eyed midget 35
36  Like a camel and you frown   Shouting the word "NOW"             36
17  And you say, "For what reason ?"17
18  And he says, "How ?"18
19  And you say, "What does this mean ?"19
