[Bb]
[Eb]
Now I know a little ditty, [Bb] it's as crazy as can be, the guy who wrote it said he wanted
it [Eb] and handed it to me.
I found I couldn't use it [Ab] because it sounded blue, [Bb] and that's
the very reason why I'm handing it to you.
It's a song the [Bb] alligators sing while coming
through the rye, as they serenade the elephants [Eb] up in the trees so high.
The Iceman hums this
[Ab] ditty as he shovels in the coal, and the monkeys join the chorus up around the northern
pole.
[Eb] Ain't we crazy, [Bb] ain't we crazy, [Eb] this is the way we pass the time away.
Ain't we
crazy, ain't we [Bb] crazy, we're going to sing this song [Eb] all night today.
[Eb] It was midnight
on the ocean, [Bb] not a streetcar was in sight, and the sun was shining brightly, for it rained
all day that [Eb] night.
It was a summer night in winter, [Ab] and the rain was snowing fast,
[Eb] and a barefoot boy with shoes on stood a-sitting in the grass.
It was evening, and the rising
[Bb] sun was setting in the west.
The little fishes in the trees [Eb] were huddled in their nests.
The rain was pouring down, [Ab] and the moon was shining bright, [Eb] and everything that you could
see was hidden out of sight.
While the organ-feel potato's lard [Bb] was rendered by the choir, the
sexton rung the dishrag, [Eb] someone set the church on fire.
Holy smoke, the preacher shouted.
[Ab] In the rain he lost his hair, [Bb] now his head resembles heaven, for there is no partying
[Eb] there.
The cows were making cow's lips, [Bb] and the bells were ringing wet, and the bumblebees
were making [Eb] bumps and smoking cigarettes.
And a man slept in a stable, [Ab] and came out
a little horse, [Eb] so he hopped upon his golf sticks and drove all around the court.
Ain't
we crazy, [Bb] ain't we crazy?
This is the way we pass [Eb] the time away.
Ain't we crazy, ain't
[Bb] we crazy?
We're going to sing this song [Eb] all night today.
It was midnight on the ocean,
[Bb] not a horse car was in sight.
As I stepped into the [Eb] drugstore to get myself a light,
the man behind the counter [Ab] was a woman old and gray, [Bb] who used to pedal shoestrings on
the road [Eb] to Mandalay.
Good evening, sir, the woman said, [Bb] and her eyes were bright with
tears as she put her head beneath [Eb] her feet and stood that way for years.
Her children's
six were [Ab] orphans, except one tiny tot, [Eb] who lived in a house across the street above a
vacant lot.
Ain't we crazy, ain't [Bb] we crazy?
But this is the way we pass [Eb] the time away.
Ain't we crazy, [Bb] ain't we crazy?
We're going to sing this song all night today.
