Oh a sleeping drunkard Up in Central Park
Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark


Or the Chinese dentist Or the British Queen
They all fit together In the same machine


Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice
So many people in the same device


Oh a whirling dervish And a dancing bear
Or a Ginger Rogers and a Fred Astaire


Or a teenage rocker Or the girls in France
Yes, we all are partners in this cosmic dance


Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice

So many people in the same device

I wanted all things to make sense

So we'd be happy instead of tense

Oh a sleeping drunkard Up in Central Park

Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark

Or the Chinese dentist Or the British Queen

They all fit together In the same machine

Nice, nice, very nice

Nice, nice, very nice
So many people in the same device
So many people in the same device
