The Genius on Cleveland Street

3 views

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
