What is the song that has the words I'm up here in the nut house my mind is in a rut my keeper thinks you are crazy?

Answer 1

The way my grandmother sang it to me went like this...

I'm up here in the nut house, my mind is in a rut

My keeper thinks I'm crazy but he's just off his nut

I'm just as sane as you are, and I can prove it too

So listen to my lullaby to prove I'm not cuckoo

Oh, I was born, one night, one morn, when the whistles went boom boom

I fry a cake and bake a steak when the mudpies are in bloom

Six and six are nine. Does ice come from a mine?

Is Ol' Black Joe an eskimo in the good ol' summer time?

Oh, I loop-the-loop in my noodle soup just to give my socks a shine

I'm a guilty judge, I stole some fudge. Three cheers for Auld Lang Sine

I cannot tell a lie. I hocked a case of rye

It's on a limb beneath the sea above the bright blue sky

Oh, if Easter eggs don't wash their legs, and children will have ducks

I'd rather have a lemon drop than forty seven bucks

Way down in Barcelonio, the spring into the phoney-o

And this is all baloney-o! Paderewski, blow your horn (boom boom)

Answer 2

The song you are referring to is "The Nut House" by Barenaked Ladies. It is a track from their album "Gordon," released in 1992. The lyrics you mentioned reflect the theme of mental health and the challenges of feeling trapped or misunderstood.

Attached are the words from a Camp Nokomis, Mercer, Wisconsin Song book. Looks very similar to how another person answered. This camp song is one of my fav’s!
