A horse and a flea and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone covered in ice
The horse he slipped and fell on the flea
“Whoops,” said the flea, “There’s a horse on me!”
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be nuts like us?
Silly and foolish all day long
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Way down South where bananas grow
A flea stepped on an elephant’s toe
The elephant cried, with tears in his eyes
“Why don’t you pick on someone your size?”
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be nuts like us?
Silly and foolish all day long
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
Tried to get to heaven on a telephone pole
One foot slipped, the other fell
He didn’t get to heaven but he went to…WELL???
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be nuts like us?
Silly and foolish all day long
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
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 let the well alone.
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be nuts like us?
Silly and foolish all day long
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Way up north where there’s ice and snow
There lived a penguin and his name was Joe,
He got so tired of black and white,
He wore pink slacks to the dance last night.
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be nuts like us?
Silly and foolish all day long
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Eli, Eli he sells socks
A dollar a pair and a nickel a box
The longer you wear ’em the better they get
And you put ’em in the water and they don’t get wet!
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be nuts like us?
Silly and foolish all day long
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
