Boom Boom, Ain't It Great To Be Crazy!
Song Lyrics & Words
A horse and a flea and three blind mice
Sat on a tombstone 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, [some say "Silly and foolish..."]
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 crazy,
Giddy and foolish the whole day through,
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
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?"
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, 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.
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?
Late last night, I had a real strange dream,
Ate a nine-pound marshmallow my mom gave me,
When I woke up, I knew somethin' was wrong,
I looked around and saw my pillow was gone.
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?
Alternative Lyrics & Words
I must go off to a barbecue now in Oxford with
friends, but if you do not know "Boom, boom, ain't it
great to be crazy", ask and I'll send it to you.
Joe Martin
Long Version
HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE
SAT ON THE CURB STONE SHOOTING DICE
HORSE FELL DOWN AND SAT ON THE FLEA WHOOPS SAID THE FLEA
THERES A HORSE ON ME
BOOM BOOM AINT IT GREAT TO BE CRAZY
ONE DARK NIGHT JUST AFTER DAY A WANDERING MAN HAD LOST HIS WAY
SAW A SIGN POST VERY VERY FAINT
CLIMBED TO THE TOP AND SAID WET PAINT
...
BOOM BOOM AINT IT GREAT TO BE CRAZY
I WAS OUT WITH THE MILK ONE MORNING ALONG CAME A MAID
SAID LETS HAVE A RACE
SURE AS I WAS IN IT I WAS COMING IN A WINNER
WHEN THE MAIL CALLED MILK AND I LOST THAT RACE
BOOM BOOM AINT IT GREAT TO BE CRAZY
I HAD A DOG AND HIS NAME WAS ROVER HE WAS NOTHING BUT A PUP
HE COOULD STAND UPON HIS HIND LEGS
IF YOU HELD HIS FRONT LEGS UP...
BOOM BOOM AINT IT GREAT TO BE CRAZY

You have no idea how much I adore this song, but you're missing some verses. TOOK MYSELF TO THE PICTURE SHOW SAT MYSELF ON THE VERY LAST ROW CALLED MYSELF ON THE TELEPHONE JUST TO SEE IF I WAS HOME *chorus* FATHER MOSES KILLED A SKUNK MOTHER MOSES COOKED THE SKUNK BABY MOSES ATE THE SKUNK HOLY MOSES, HOW THEY STUNK *chorus* Also, this song has movements. I can't fit all of them here, but for the chorus: BOOM (elbows pound on table or knees) BOOM (hands pound on table) AIN'T IT GREAT (clap) TO BE CRAZY (make circles around your ears with your fingers) ...during the giddy and foolish, you wave your hands in front of you in time to the rhythm. This is a great favorite at my summer camp when everyone's around tables and you run out of stuff to do.
