Lyrics It's Mad, Mad, Mad! - Lena Horne

It's Mad, Mad, Mad!

It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world
In France the girls wear scanties
While on lamb chops they put panties
I’m telling you it’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world
A Japanese named Luey
Says the Chinese hate chop suey
Without a doubt
It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world
The only thing you are sure of
Is that nothing is sure
Have a ball, live it up, only fools give it up
Toujours the amour, but toujours
So be a happy gaffer,
Be a screamer, be a laugher
Let boys be gay and say, «What the hey»
It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world
My dear old Uncle Herman
Says that French Toast should be German
Jawohl, that’s right
It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world
I know it may sound jerky
But in Turkey who eats turkey
Yes, yes, confess
It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world
Out traffic is so congested
Mass confusion on wheels
But Detroit is adroit, what they’ll do in Detroit
Is make bigger automobiles
So be a happy fellow
Be a clown, boy, Punchinello
Get off the shelf and enjoy yourself
It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad
It’s a mad, it’s a mad, it’s a mad, it’s a mad world!
