Rat-a-tat-tat, take from me
this bat, take from me these fears
that I’m no longer here,
no longer here.

Dum-de-dum-dum, where am I from?
Where can I go, lost and alone?
Dum-de-dum-dum, again,
I’m no one.

Fiddle-de-dee, I’ll never be free.
Never be free, because I am me.

Quibble and quarrel, there is
no tomorrow, no more tomorrow.

Fiddle-de-dee, forever to be,
because I am me, never to be free.

Dum-de-dum-dum, where do I run?
How can I win… I’ll flee, again.
Dum-de-dum-dum, because,
I’m no one.

Rat-a-tat-tat, take from me
this hat, take from me these tears,
I’m no longer here,
no longer here…
