Down in the studio, all the band was making music.
For the good gentile fans and the not-so-gentile critics.
When the singer busted in, nearly scared them to death
With a mike in his hand and some rum on his breath
From his face to his feet, he was an active volcano
Like a big, strong, old viking, minus the long beard
And he smiled like an angel, with a twinkle in his eyes.
"I hate being in this group, so now I'm gonna quit!"

The night Roger went crazy
The night Tommy went insane
Realized he looked just like his wife
Something finally must have snapped in his brain

Well the album is not finished, Pete didn't know what to do
So he burnt the recordings, you'll find pieces everywhere.
And he fired the bandmates, and laid off his roadies
And he ground up his guitar into cocaine like sawdust
He tried to call Roger, but his wife answered instead
Telling him to **** off because her husband said so
He came to the house and Roger got a cricket bat
And went charging after him shouting "Get the hell off!"

The night Roger went crazy
The night the singer went nuts
Now Pete is left without a job
And he drinks till he throws up his guts

All the fans of Who gather and the non-fans too
To go to Roger's house to get him back
And there are helicopters circlin' to drive him out
And the yelling has started, to tell them to get off
All the people are wonderin' why did he quit
My my my my my my my
You used to like singing for The Who

Yes his beautiful house, is where he spends his time
While he is horseback riding, and liming the oak
Hey you little punk, now don't you cry right now
'Cause he really deserve it, 'cause he's way too old
But now Pino is sad and Zak is in bad shape
And Simon and Rabbit just formed their own band
And they say Roger's children are doing very well
And the grandchildren love him, he is a happy man

The night Roger went crazy
The night the old man just flipped
He's retired and his 401(K)
Is enough to keep him covered till his death

Wo, the night Roger went crazy
The night Tommy went insane
Realized he looked just like his wife
Something finally must have snapped in his brain
Wo, something finally must have snapped in his brain
Tell ya, something must have snapped...in his brain.
