[length: 04:05]
[00:06.12]If you like your apples sweet
[00:08.43]And your streets are not concrete
[00:11.22]You’ll be in your bed by nine every night
[00:16.52]Take your hand-spanked, corn-fed gal
[00:19.79]And your best friend’s four-eyed pal
[00:22.51]To a treat right down the street as dynamite
[00:27.23]Don’t let your conscience be your guide
[00:30.27]If you put your foot inside
[00:33.05]You wish you left your well-enough alone
[00:38.52]When you got hell to pay
[00:41.12]Put the truth on layaway
[00:43.68]And blame it on that old crazy bone
[00:47.00]
[00:49.09]Crazy bone (crazy bone)
[00:51.60]Crazy bone (crazy bone)
[00:54.53]Well you wish you’d left your well-enough alone
[01:00.06]When you got hell to pay
[01:02.96]Put the truth on layaway
[01:05.29]And blame it on the old crazy bone
[01:08.96]
[01:11.22]Don’t be stuck up in Alaska
[01:13.79]When you should be in Nebraska
[01:16.28]On a Thursday when it’s Egg & Daughter Nite
[01:21.16]When the farmers come to town
[01:24.33]And they spread them eggs around
[01:27.13]And they drop their daughters down at the roller rink
[01:32.64]Well you’re probably standing there
[01:35.17]With your slicked-back, Brylcreem hair
[01:38.05]Your Lucky’s and your daddy’s fine-tooth comb
[01:42.99]If they knew what you were thinking
[01:46.08]They’d run you out of Lincoln
[01:48.63]Just blame it on that old crazy bone
[01:54.16]Crazy bone (crazy bone)
[01:56.70]Crazy bone (crazy bone)
[01:59.77]Well you must have left your wisdom tooth at home
[02:05.38]If they knew what you were thinking
[02:09.72]They’d run you out of Lincoln
[02:12.07]Blame it on the old crazy bone
[02:15.10]
[02:37.60]When the grandkids all are grown
[02:39.75]And they put you in a home
[02:42.44]And eternity is approaching fast
[02:47.45]Yeah you’re half out of your head
[02:50.67]And you probably pissed the bed
[02:53.77]And you can’t see a thing to save your ass
[02:58.84]And far across the prairie (prairie)
[03:01.97]In the local cemetery (‘tery)
[03:04.17]They already got your name carved out in stone
[03:08.68]When all them nurses say
[03:11.83]Grandpa why you walk that way?
[03:14.83]Just blame it on that old crazy bone
[03:20.68]Yeah blame it on that old
[03:23.26]Crazy bone (crazy bone)
[03:27.82]Crazy bone (crazy bone)
[03:31.07]And everybody in that old folks’ home
[03:36.22]If they knew what you were thinking
[03:38.66]They’d run you out of Lincoln
[03:41.10]Just blame it on that old crazy bone
[03:46.97]And everybody in that old folks’ home
[03:51.43]Yeah blame it on that old crazy bone
