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. 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. Welcome to this world This crazy, crazy world, Welcome to this world My crazy, crazy world. 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. Welcome to this world This crazy, crazy world, Welcome to this world My crazy, crazy world...
