One sandwich short
he's one sandwich short of a picnic
he's two cards shy of a deck
he’s lost in the woods
he’ll never come good
he’s burnt out, a gibbering wreck
he's mostly away with the fairies
his ship is on the rocks
his nerves are shot
the man is not
the sharpest tool in the box
they say that he's not the full shilling
and he's got no gas in the tank
he's no flipping use
he's got a screw loose
he's thick as two short planks
I reckon he's having a meltdown
he's constantly losing his rag
he's turned off the light
unable to fight
his way out of a paper bag
he's one tinny short of a six-pack
two citizens shy of a jury
he's an “also ran”
wouldn't trust him to plan
a piss-up in a brewery
he can’t tell his arse from his elbow
can't find that same part with both hands
his reason’s gone missing
his mind has gone fishing
he’s living in Cloud Cuckoo Land
he needs to be put in the nuthouse
he’s barking, he’s hare-brained, he’s challenged
a dingbat, a loon
he hooooooooowls at the moon
a fruitcake, unhinged and unbalanced
he’s ga-ga, he's toys in the attic
there’s cotton-wool under the dome
he’s Bungalow Bill
he’s The Fool on the Hill
you knock but there’s nobody home
he’s a jackass, a dope, he’s a head-case
he's bananas, he’s gone round the bend
he's out for lunch
and it's my hunch
he talks to invisible friends
his brain cell is getting lonely
he's cracked, he's not all there
he’s off his trolley
he’s building a folly
he didn't pack a spare
he's wacko, he's bats in the belfry
a numpty, a nutter, a dork
he's full of rot
he's lost the plot
he can't tell butter from Stork
he's up shit creek with no paddle
he's leading us down a blind alley
he's dazed and confused
his wiring has fused
he’s bonkers, he's gone doolally
it's rumoured he's losing his marbles
so humour him, he’s not too bright
the reason the town
must keep talking him down
is fear
that
he’s probably...
