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!"

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
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 own size?"


Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through

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 crazy?

Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?


Eli, Eli had some socks
A dollar a pair and a nickel a box
The more 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 crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?


Called myself on the telephone
Just to hear that golden tone

Asked myself out for a date
Said be ready 'bout half-past eight!


Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Took myself to the picture show

Sat myself on the very last row
Wrapped my arms around my waist
Got so fresh I slapped my face!


Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
