The Old Lady’s Goin’ Crazy:  How she sees herself

Crazy Lady

Hey! The old lady’s goin’ crazy agin!
Hootin’ and a hollerin’ like she’s bin in the gin,
Prancin’ and a dancin’ and lettin’ out a cuss,
Why she’s bin makin’ one gawd-awful fuss.
Give ’er a dizopain!

Well dang it dad there she goes agin,
She’s gone and got herself all worked up a sin;
Next she’ll be foamin’ at the mouth until it end.
Well doggone it all, she’s gone around the bend.
Give ’er another dizopain!

Well the old lady, she fin’ly settled down,
Thanks  to that little pill the doctor foun’,
And we grabbed ourselves a quick little break,
Which lasted until…the old lady wake.
Quick now, grab the dizopain!

Hey Ma! The old lady’s blowing her top.
She’s trekkin’ outside ’n she’s totin’ a mop,
She got herself half a mile headstart,
Says she’s gonna sort that neighbour tart.
Quick now, bring that dizopain!

Well we caught up to that crazy old gal,
Stopped her in her tracks and popped her a pill.
The old lady’s bin calm and restin’ her rig–
Oops! She gits up agin an’ she dances a jig
Best be tossin’ us that dizopain!

Poor old lady, she ain’t bin herself today
And she’s driving the doctors all cra-zay,
And the nurses cain’t keep the old lady still,
Must be somethin’s a drivin’ her agin her will.
Pass the dizopain!

So the doc he doubles the power o’ that pill,
But wouldn’t ya know, she’s a prancin’ up the hill…
Ye jest cain’t keep a good old lady down.
Why, she’s havin’ more fun than a dozen clown.
Hold that there dizopain!

Well, that old lady, she’s a happy old coot
And she’s havin’ herself one helluva hoot–
She gone and found her own stress relief…
Come crazy lady, help me dance away this grief.
Toss that dizopain away!
