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
"Whoops," said the flea, "there's a horse on me!"

Chorus

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?"

Chorus

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.

Chorus

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 pants to the dance last night!

Chorus

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 crazy
Giddy and foolish all day long
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
