Manchester England England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And he's a genius genius
He believes in God
And he believes that God
Believes in Claude
That's him, that's him

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 Claud Hooper Bukowski

And he's a genius genius
He believes in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That's me, that's me

Finds that it's groovy
To hide in a movie
Pretends he's Fellini

And also his countryman Roman Polanski

Now that I've dropped out
Why is life dreary dreary
Answer my weary query
