Idiot Song Lyrics - Monty Python

How sweet to be an idiot 

As harmless as a cloud 

Too small to hide the sun 

Almost poking fun 

At the warm but insecure, untidy crowd 

How sweet to be an idiot 

And dip my brain in joy 

Children laughing at my back 

With no fear of attack 

As much retaliation as a toy 

How sweet to be an idiot, how sweet 

I tiptoe down the street 

Smile at everyone I meet 

But suddenly, a scream 

Smashes through my dream 

Fee fie foe fum 

I smell the blood of an asylum 

(Blood of an asylum but Mother 

I play so beautifully, listen, ha ha) 

Fie fie foe fum 

I smell the blood of the asylum 

Hey you, you're such a pedant 

You got as much brain as a dead ant 

As much imagination as a caravan site 

But I still love you, still love you 

Ooh, how sweet to be an idiot 

How sweet, how sweet, how sweet
