The telephone rings I grab all my things And I take off down the street The old man on the corner must have started kind of early Tryin to rake up something to eat I toss him a dollar cut across to the market Ain't got a lot of time to waste There's two men yelling at each other at the counter Getting up in one another's face
Chorus: Welcome to this world this crazy crazy world Welcome to this world my crazy crazy world
My brother-in-law told me that the baby came early And everybody's doin' just fine The elevator door it opens third floor So many relatives of mine I walked up to the window it took me just a minute To find the last name there That tiny little angel she can't hear me But still I gotta say to her
Repeat chorus:
Heading home in the night I swear in my sight Is a man on roller skates He's got a llama on a leash crossin' the street Man only 'round this place I see up ahead lights flashing red Another threat streets closed here But freedom rules and you know we refuse To live our lives in fear
