Mad, Mad World Songtext
von Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas

Everybody′s runnin' in a mad, mad world
Nobody′s goin' nowhere
Everybody's gotta have more than the others
Gotta have more than their share

Every since the day when [unintelligible] with an apple
We all had our friends to share
Now the world keeps turnin′ and things are gettin′ faster
Nobody's goin′ no where


They say the grass is greener on the other side
When they [burst over] they find
Everybody's searchin′ like you and me
Try to find peace of mind

I see that little boy fishing on the river
If only I could be like him
I close my eyes and let the mad world go by
If only I could be like him

I see that little boy fishing on the river
If only I could be like him
I close my eyes and let the mad world go by
If only I could be like him

I close my eyes and let the mad world go by
If only I could be like him
