Spacticus Autisticus Songtext
von Ian Dury & the Blockheads

I′m spasticus, I'm spasticus
I′m spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus, I'm spasticus
I′m spasticus autisticus
I′m spasticus, I'm spasticus
I′m spasticus autisticus

I wibble when I piddle
Cos my middle is a riddle

I'm spasticus, I′m spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I′m spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I′m spasticus, I′m spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus

I dribble when I nibble
And I quibble when I scribble


Hello to you out there in Normal Land
You may not comprehend my tale or understand
As I crawl past your window give me lucky looks
You can be my body but you′ll never read my books

I'm spasticus, I′m spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I′m spasticus, I'm spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I′m spasticus, I′m spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus

I′m knobbled on the cobbles
Cos I hobble when I wobble
Swim!

So place your hard-earned peanuts in my tin
And thank the Creator you're not in the state I′m in
So long have I been languished on the shelf
I must give all proceedings to myself

I'm spasticus, I′m spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus, I′m spasticus
I′m spasticus autisticus
I'm spasticus, I′m spasticus
I'm spasticus autisticus

Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus
Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus
Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus

Widdling, griddling, skittling, diddling,
fiddling, diddling, widdling, diddling spasticus

I′m spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus
Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus
Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus

Spasticus, spasticus
Spasticus autisticus

I'm spasticus!
I′m spasticus!
I'm spasticus!
I'm spasticus!
I′m spasticus!
I′m spasticus!
I'm spasticus!
Spasticus!
