It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World - Lena Horne

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!
