3. Boom,boom, ain’t it great to be crazy
Traditional

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
Silly and foolish the whole day long
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy

A horse and a flea and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone looking nice
The horsey slipped and fell on the flea
“Look!” 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
Silly and foolish the whole 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

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
Silly and foolish the whole day long
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy

A horse and a flea and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone looking nice
The horsey slipped and fell on the flea
“Look!” 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
Silly and foolish the whole 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
