Let's Go Crazy

Lyrics

Dearly beloved
 We are gathered here today to get through this thing called "life"
 Electric word, life, it means forever and that's a mighty long time
 But I'm here to tell you, this is something else
 The afterworld
 A world of never-ending happiness
 You can always see the sun, day or night
 So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
 You know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
 Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
 Ask him how much of your mind, babe
 'Cause in this life, things are much harder in the afterworld
 In this life, you're on your own
 And if de-elevator tries to bring you down
 Go crazy, punch a higher floor (woo!)
 If you don't like the world you're living in
 Take a look around you, at least you got friends
 You see, I called my old lady for a friendly word
 She just picked up the phone, dropped it on the floor
 "Ah, ah," is all I heard
 Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down?
 Oh no, let's go
 Let's go crazy, let's get nuts
 Let's look for the purple banana
 Until they put us in the truck, let's go
 ♪
 We're all excited, but we don't know why
 Maybe it's 'cause we're all gonna die
 And when we do (when we do)
 What's it all for? (what's it all for?)
 You better live now before the Grim Reaper come knocking on your door
 Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down?
 Oh no, let's go
 Let's go crazy, let's get nuts
 Look for the purple banana
 Until they put us in the truck, let's go
 C'mon baby, let's get nuts
 Yeah, crazy
 ♪
 Let's go crazy
 ♪
 Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down?
 Oh no, let's go
 (Go crazy)
 I said, "let's go crazy" (go crazy)
 Let's go, go (let's go, let's go)
 Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright will make everything go wrong
 Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
 Hang tough, children
 He's coming, he's coming, coming
 ♪
 Take me away
