Lyrics
The wheels of your mind just keep on spinning Another exhausting climb uphill You always come close to almost winning But there's that one blank You can't seem to fill Come on, Parker! You're brimming with skill and brains and knowledge You're hardly a humdrum average Joe So, you didn't come from some dumb college Just focus and think You're practically there If you could get ink In each little square You'd be the genius on Cleveland Street Yeah An intellectual elite And you could win an award A trophy for all to see Ah! Hm! Imagine that! The genius on Cleveland Street The guy the neighbors want to greet That's instant respect A little recognition for me What are the jumping reptiles referred to frequently by Little Orphan Annie? Hmm Leapin'... Ah! Leapin' lizards! Ha-ha! You're busting your hump to make a living And where's your thanks? Where's your reward? Not enough get and too much giving You need this to work 'Cause then you could go From Parker the Jerk To Parker the Pro You'd be the genius on Cleveland Street The Bumpus hounds would lick your feet Ah! And the mayor would say Hey! Hand him that city key Thank you, ladies and gentlemen The genius on Cleveland Street The guy they're lining up to meet Frank Parker, the champ A stamp of recognition for me All right, let's see here Dorothy's dog. Four letters Toto! Fast-thinking secret agent Mr. Moto! Just got one more spot to fill Actress who played Diamond Lill M-A-E-W-blank-S-T Oh, God. Ahh, Ma-ee Wust? Ma-ee Wast? Ma-ee Weest? Ma-ee Wist? Mae We... Mae West! Mae West! Mr. Parker, you're the best No question, you're the best we've ever seen What a genius on Cleveland Street The wiz whose puzzle is complete If I send it in And somehow, I win They'll see The genius on Cleveland Street Let this be it Let this be the one I'd get instant respect Instant respect A little recognition for me
