I was sitting picking on a ragtime tune Said no cryin' on a rainy afternoon (Lemme tell ya) Crazy is the way you're gonna be, givin' folks the opportunity To-ooh blow your mind Turn your head around Don't let the rain bring you down (From the top now, and from the bottom now) People get happy whistlin' the melody Because happy is the only way to be Crazy is the way you're gonna be, givin' folks the opportunity To-ooh blow your mind Turn your head around Don't let the rain, don't let the rain bring you down (Take it, rain) Well, I'm goin'. Won't you come along? (Come along with me. Come along mama) Yeah, I'm goin'. Won't you come along and see? (Ah, won't you come along and see?) Crazy is the way you're gonna be, givin' folks the opportunity To-ooh blow your mind Turn your head around Don't let the rain, don't let the rain bring you down (Blow your mind Move your cane Looks like he would If the room was peanut bu*ter, we'd be sticking by each other)
