It's the World's Gone Crazy (Cotillion)
(Shel Silverstein - Waylon Jennings)
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancing alone
Causeos the sidemen all wanna be frontmen
And the frontmen all wanna go home.
The Johnny Comelateleys are comin' in early
The early birds showin' up late
The straightmen all wanna be funny
The funny men all wanna get straight.
The villains have turned into heroes
The heroes have turned into heels
The dealers all wanna be lovers
And the lovers all wanna make deals.
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancing alone
Causeos the sidemen all wanna be frontmen
And the frontmen all wanna go home.
Like they ain't inherited nothing
The leaders have fallen behind
So I'm singing my songs to the deaf men
Dancing my dance to the blind.
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancing alone
Causeos the sidemen all wanna be frontmen
And the frontmen all wanna go home...
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancing alone
Causeos the sidemen all wanna be frontmen
And the frontmen all wanna go home.
The Johnny Comelateleys are comin' in early
The early birds showin' up late
The straightmen all wanna be funny
The funny men all wanna get straight.
The villains have turned into heroes
The heroes have turned into heels
The dealers all wanna be lovers
And the lovers all wanna make deals.
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancing alone
Causeos the sidemen all wanna be frontmen
And the frontmen all wanna go home.
Like they ain't inherited nothing
The leaders have fallen behind
So I'm singing my songs to the deaf men
Dancing my dance to the blind.
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancing alone
Causeos the sidemen all wanna be frontmen
And the frontmen all wanna go home...
