Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy

Verse 1:

Eli, Eli, he sells socks

A dollar a pair, a nickel a box

The longer you wear them the shorter they get

You put them in the washer and they don’t get wet (refrain)

Way up north in the ice and snow

Lives an eskimo by the name of Joe

He got so tired of black and white

That he wore pink socks to the party last night (refrain)

Love me not, love me so,

I took myself to the picture show

Put my arms around my waist,

I got so fresh I slapped my face (refrain)

Horsey and flea and three blind mice,

Sittin’ on a corner shootin’ dice

The horse slipped and fell on the flea

The flea said whoops there’s a horse on me. (refrain)

Verse 5:

Way down south where bananas grow

An ant stepped on an elephants tow

The elephant cried with tears in his eyes
