dance of the crackpots
Singer:dury, ian
let's get up and let's get excited
it's a public party and you're all invited
please hold steady 'till we're maladjusted
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
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
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
to the new-age boogie for the old-age pension
let them stop and let them score
we'll get madder - we were born
motivation is the new sensation
the fantasy keeps you fit
you don't have the gumption
being daft is a therapy class
which sharpens up your wits
totally enthusic about the music
and it shows in the face you sit
let's get up and let's get excited
it's a public party and you're all invited
please hold steady 'till we're maladjusted
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
you can bet your boots on your own pursuits
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
