They Can't Stand To See Me Dancing

All last night I was singin'
Woke up this mornin' singin' too
I bet I'll still be singin'
When they throw me in the zoo

They can't stand to see me happy
They hate when any of us sings
Can't stand to see me swimming
Because they know the joy it brings

Something crazy, something crazy
Something cray-ee-ay-ee-azy
Is happening in me

They can't stand to see me dancin'
Can't stand to see me use my brain
They even want to stop me
From singin' in the rain

Landlord wants to evict me
For disturbing the peace
They tell me when I dance around
I'm violatin' my lease

Something crazy, something crazy
Something cray-ee-ay-ee-azy
Is happening in me

The only man I ever knew
Who didn't make me almost spew
Was the great Filini: he was both Turk and Jew
And so, dear Christian friends, how do you do?

Something crazy, something crazy
Something cray-ee-ay-ee-azy
Is happening in me

Something crazy, something crazy
Something cray-ee-ay-ee-azy
Is happening in you
(I know you feel it too)
