Lyrics The Hollies

The Hollies

Mad Professor Blyth

Mad Professor Blyth is working on his pet invention

to dematerialise himself into the fourth dimension

He's got his mind set on illusion

to find the secrets of diffusion

Conclusion: he disappeared

Tried it on his cat one grey night when it was foggy

Never got it back Oh what happened to his Moggy

He's got his mind set on illusion

to find the secrets of diffusion

Conclusion: he's disappeared

All the kids around about his neighbourhood

used to laugh at him and call him names

Silly old bat freaky four-eyes

sort of things they used to shout

He can't hear them now

He's disappeared

Colleagues at the lab

they all thought that he was crazy

Don't know where he's at

His formulas to them are hazy

He had his mind set on illusion

He found the secrets of diffusion

Conclusion: he's disappeared
