Dance of the Crackpots

Oh, let's get up and let's get excited It's a public party and you're all invited Let's cut the custard, see the mustard Please hold steady till we're maladjusted Sing boop-ba-de-boop, sing twiddle-de-de Invite the Germans home for tea Let them mock and let them sneer The wise young crackpot knows no fear The emancipation that's sweeping the nation When it seemed that the world was sunk You can bet your boots on your own pursuits History is bunk From Rosemary Clooney to Jerry Lee Lewis From Debussy to Thelonius Monk It's the modern art of the human heart The shape of things to funk, funk, funk Let's see you do it, you always knew it It's totally impossible to misconstrue it In sight of the fact and in spite of the fashion Living is a lap-top animated fashion Pay no attention to the bones of contention Do the new-age boogie for the old-age pension Let them stop and let them snore We'll be glad that we were born Motivation is the new sensation The fantasy that keeps you fit On the human a*sumption, you don't have the gumption Get up and do your bit Being daft is a therapy craft Which sharpens up your wits Totally enthusic about the music And it shows in the face you sit, sit, sit (dosey-doh) Oh, let's get up and let's get excited It's a public party and you're all invited Let's cut the custard, see the mustard Please hold steady till we're maladjusted Sing boop-ba-de-boop, sing twiddle-de-de Invite the Germans home for tea Let them mock and let them sneer Wise young crackpots know no fear Emancipation that's sweeping the nation Worldwide tonic funk You can bet your boots on your own pursuits History is bunk From Rosemary Clooney to Jerry Lee Lewis From Debussy to Thelonius Monk It's the modern art in the human heart The shape of things to funk, funk, funk, funk, funk (Thank you)
