In the year of 1970

Underneath the old smogberry tree

First was heard a man that we all know

The one and only Dr. Demento



Nixon, Ford, and Carter, Reagan too

Remember all they did and didn't do

Through it all, one consistency

Spending once a week with Dr. D



So wind your radios way up tight

Raise your glasses high tonight

Like wine, his spirit has fermented

So here's to him, the one who stays demented



Changes come, seasons pass

Like Alice through the looking glass

He shares a world of madness that we cheer

For fifteen roly poly years.



So wind your radios way up tight

Raise your glasses high tonight

Like wine, his spirit has fermented

So here's to him, the one who stays demented



Don't forget to stay demented



Everybody sing

He has a very friendly, fuzzy face

And nobody could ever take his place

His fans around the globe will never dwindle

'Cause he fits so many records on his spindle



Stacks of laughing wax from floor to ceiling

Well, it gives him such a warm internal feeling

Whether you're Italian or Egyptian

He's bound to fill your musical prescription



Wind your radios way up tight

Raise your glasses high tonight

Like wine, his spirit has fermented

So here's to him, the one who stays demented



Wind your radios way up tight

Raise your glasses high tonight

Like wine, his spirit has fermented

So here's to him, the one who stays demented



In the year of 1970

Underneath the old smogberry trees

First was heard a man that we all know

The one and only Dr. Demento



Yeah
