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 Claud Hooper Bukowski
Now that I've dropped out
Why is life dreary dreary
Answer my weary query
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 him)
That's me (that's him)
That's me (that's him)
That's me
