I Get Carried Away

Lyrics
Modern man, what is it? Just a collection of complexes and neurotic impulses That occasionally break through You mean sometimes you blow your top, like me? I do I try hard to stay controlled But I get carried away Try to act aloof and cold But I get carried away Carried away, carried away You get carried, just carried away! Carried away, carried away I get carried away! When I go to listen to a symphony Why can't I just say the music's grand? Why must I leap up on the stage hysterically? They're playing pizzicato And everything goes blotto I grab the maestro's stick and start in leading the band! Carriеd away, carried away You get carried, just carriеd away! Carried away, carried away I get carried away! And when I go to see a moving picture show And I'm watching actors in a scene I start to think what's happening is really so The girl, I must protect her The villain don't respect her I leap to her defense and knock a hole right through the screen! Carried away, carried away He gets carried Carried away, carried away I get carried Yes, carried away! I try hard to keep detached But I get carried away Try to act less booby-hatched But I get carried away Carried away, carried away He gets carried, just carried away! Carried away, carried away I get carried away! When shopping, I'm a sucker for a bargain sale If something is marked down upon a shelf My sense of what is practical begins to fail I buy one, then another Another, then another I buy the whole store out and I'm in business for myself! Carried away, carried away He gets carried, just carried away! Carried away, carried away I get carried away! And when I go to see my friends off on a train Golly, how I hate to see them go For then my love of traveling I can't restrain The time has come for parting The train's already starting I hop a freight and in a flash I'm off to Buffalo! Carried away, carried away We get carried, yes, carried away!
