Manchester, England, England across the Atlantic Sea
And he is a genius, genius, he believes in God
And he believes that God believes in Claude
That's him, that's him
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
Manchester, England, England across the Atlantic Sea
And he is a genius, genius, he believes 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
