If I Really Was Crazy…..

“If I really was crazy I’d be the last to know”.

I mentioned this country-western “hook” to lovely Mira.

I finished up the song (almost) and here it is. The logic is unassailable. Being crazy would preclude any ability to detect your own craziness. One of those Catch 22 things. This song is a sing-a-long – that is, if you’re crazy too.

If I really was crazy I’d be the last to know

If I really was crazy I wouldn’t let it show

If I really was crazy now would that be so wrong?

If I really was crazy

If I really was crazy you might be crazy too

And if we really both were crazy then there’s nothing else to do

If we really both were crazy we still could sing this song

If we really were crazy

I got the madman blues

Got ’em to the bottoms of my travellin’ shoes

Come on baby take my hand

I think you’re lookin’ for a man

I got the madman blues

If I really were crazy I’d be the last to know
If I really was crazy I’d just get on with the show
If I really was crazy I still would sing this song
If I really was crazy

I got the madman blues
Got ’em to the bootom of my travellin’ shoes
Come on baby take my hand
I think you lookin’ for a man
I got the madman blues
