| Boom, Boom, Ain't it Great to Be Crazy Boom, Boom, Ain't it Great to Be Crazy | |
Original text | |
Boom, Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy? Boom, Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy? Giddy and Foolish all day long Boom, Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy! A horse and a flea and three blind mice Sat on a curbstone shooting dice The horse, he slipped and fell on the flea Woops! Said the flea, there's a horse on me! Way down south where bananas grow An ant stepped on an elephant's toe The elephant cried with tears in his eyes "Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Eli, Eli he sells socks A dollar a pair, a nickel a box The longer you wear them, the shorter they get Throw 'em in the water and they don't get wet! Way up north where there's ice and snow There was a penguin and his name was Joe He got tired of black and white So he wore pink pants to the dance last night! There was an old doctor and his name was Peck Fell down the well and broke his neck Served him right, he was doing wrong Should have tended to the sick and left the well alone! | |
