Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called lifeElectric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The after worldA world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or nightSo 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, baby'Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the after world
In this life
You're on your ownAnd if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy, punch a higher floorIf you don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around you
At least you got friendsYou see I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Ah, ah) is all I heardAre we gonna let the elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no let's go!Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
'Til 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 dieAnd 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 doorTell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
CrazyLet's go crazyAre we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazyI said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go
Let's goDr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough childrenHe's coming
He's coming
ComingTake me away!
