Frontier Psychiatrist Songtext
von The Avalanches

Is Dexter ill, is Dexter ill, is Dexter ill, is Dexter ill today?
Mr Kirk, Dexter′s in school
I'm afraid he′s not, Miss Fishpaw
Dexter's truancy problem is way out of hand
The Baltimore County school board have decided to expel Dexter from the entire public school system
Oh, Mr. Kirk
I'm as upset as you to learn of Dexter′s truancy
But surely, expulsion is not the answer
I′m afraid expulsion is the only answer
It's the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane

That boy needs therapy
Psychosomatic, that boy needs therapy
Purely psychosomatic, that boy needs therapy, lie down on the couch
What does that mean?
You′re a nut
You're crazy in the coconut
What does that mean?


That boy needs therapy, I′m gonna kill you
That boy needs therapy, ranagazoo
Let's have a tune, now when I count three
That, that, that, that, that boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet, and he also made false teeth

Avalanche is above, business continues below
Did I ever tell you the story about Cowboys
And midgets and Indians?
Frontier Psychiatrist
I felt strangely hypnotised
I was in another world, a world of twenty
Twenty thousand girls and milk
And rectangles, you′re an optometrist
The man with the golden eyeball, and tighten your buttocks
Pour juice on your chin
I promised my girlfriend I'd play the violin, violin, violin

Frontier Psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier Psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier


Frontier Psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier Psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier Psychiatrist

That boy needs therapy
Psychosomatic, that boy needs therapy
Purely psychosomatic, that boy needs therapy, lie down on the couch
What does that mean?
You're a nut
You′re crazy in the coconut
What does that mean?

That boy needs therapy, I′m gonna kill you
That boy needs therapy, ranagazoo
Let's have a tune, now when I count three
That, that, that, that, that boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet, and he also made false teeth

Can you think of anything else that talk
Anything else that talks, other than a person?
Uh oh, uh oh, a bird
Yeah

Sometimes a parrot talks

Yes, some birds are funny when they talk
Can you think of anything else?
A record, record, record
