| It’s the world’s gone crazy cotillion
|
| The ladies are dancin' alone
|
| Side men all want to be front men
|
| And the front me all want to go home
|
| The johnny-come-lately's are comin' in early
|
| The early bird’s showin' up late
|
| The straight men all want to be funny
|
| And the funny men all want to get straight
|
| Villains have turned into heroes
|
| Heroes have turned into heels
|
| The dealers all want to be lovers
|
| And the lovers all want to make deals
|
| It’s the world’s gone crazy cotillion
|
| The ladies are dancin' alone
|
| Side men all want to be front men
|
| And the front me all want to go home
|
| The meek they ain’t inherited nothin'
|
| The leaders are fallin' behind
|
| So I’m singin' my song to the deaf man
|
| And dancin' my dance to the blind
|
| It’s the world’s gone crazy cotillion
|
| The ladies are dancin' alone
|
| Side men all want to be front men
|
| And the front me all want to go home
|
| It’s the world’s gone crazy cotillion
|
| The ladies are dancin' alone
|
| Side men all want to be front men
|
| And the front me all want to go home |
