D A Now I know a little ditty it's as crazy as can beD The guy who wrote it said he wanted it and handed it to meG I found I couldn't use it because it sounded blueD A D And that's the very reason why I'm handing it to youD A It's a song the alligators sing while coming through the ryeD As they serenade the elephants up in the trees so highG The iceman hums this ditty as he shovels in the coalD A D And the monkeys join the chorus up around the northern poleD A Ain't we crazy ain't we crazyD This is the way we pass the time awayA Ain't we crazy ain't we crazyD We're going to sing this song all night todayD A It was midnight on the ocean not a streetcar was in sightD And the sun was shining brightly for it rained all day that nightG Twas a summer night in winter and the rain was snowing fastContinues after the adD A D And a barefoot boy with shoes on stood a-sitting in the grassD A It was evening and the rising sun was setting in the westD The little fishes in the trees were huddled in their nestsG The rain was pouring down and the moon was shining brightD A D And everything that you could see was hidden out of sightD A While the organ peeled potatoes lard was rendered by the choirD The sexton rung the dishrag someone set the church on fireG Holy smoke The preacher shouted in the rain he lost his hairD A D Now his head resembles heaven for there is no parting thereD A The cows were making cowslips and the bells were ringing wetD And the bumblebees were making bums and smoking cigarettesG And a man slept in a stable and came out a little hoarseD A D So he hopped upon his golf sticks and drove all around the courseD A Ain't we crazy ain't we crazyD This is the way we pass the time awayD A Ain't we crazy ain't we crazyD We're goin' to sing this song all night todayD A It was midnight on the ocean not a horsecar was in sightD As I stepped into the drugstore to get myself a lightG The man behind the counter was a woman old and grayD A D Who used to peddle shoestrings on the road to MandalayD A Good evening sir the woman said and her eyes were bright with tearsD As she put her head beneath her feet and stood that way for yearsG Her children six were orphans except one tiny totD A D Who lived in a house across the street above a vacant lotD A Ain't we crazy ain't we crazyD But this is the way we pass the time awayD A Ain't we crazy ain't we crazyD We're going to sing this song all night today
Aint We Crazy
