Go and close that northern window
cause there's a bad draft coming in.
Go and open up that curtain,
let the southern sunshine,
paint it's rainbow on that old table,

and give me your hand, so I
can touch my one reality.
Put your face right in my hands,
so I can hold onto my dreams,
in this mad, mad world.

If you were crazy and I was insane
we'd still be ahead of the game,
in this mad, mad world.

Come and walk me to the river,
because I feel like jumpin' in.
Tie a rope and have it ready,
in case that current starts to
spin me right 'round,
spin me right 'round,
spin my head around,

and give me your hand,
so I can touch my one reality.
Put your face right in
my hands so I can
hold onto my dreams,
in this mad, mad world.

If you were crazy and I was insane,
we'd still be ahead of the game,
in this mad, mad world.
In this mad, mad world.
In this mad, mad world.

What are people thinking
when they say the things they say?
what are people doin' when
they do unto others?
Makes it too easy to forget who we are.
We should never forget who we are.

Grab a pen and just give me a minute.
I think I've got the song for you.
Clap your hands, so I can
get the rhythm back.
Now tell me does it,
set cha right down,
set cha right down,
does it settle you right down?

if you were crazy and I was insane
we'd still be ahead of the game,
in this mad, mad world.
In this mad, mad world.
In this mad, mad world.

What are people thinking
when they say the things they say?
what are people doin'when
they do unto others?
Makes it too easy to forget who we are.
We should never forget who we are,

in this mad, mad world.
In this mad, mad world.
In this mad, mad world.

What are people thinking
when they say the things they say?
