Shel Silverstein - If The World Was CrazyShel Silverstein - If The World Was Crazy
Work rating: Low


If the world was crazy, you know what I`d eat? A big slice of soup and a whole quart of meat, A lemonade sandwich, and then I might try Some roasted ice cream or a bicycle pie, A nice notebook salad, and underwear roast, An omelet of hats and some crisp cardboard toast, A thick malted milk made from pencils and daisies, And that`s what I`d eat if the world was crazy. If the world was crazy, you know what I`d wear? A chocolate suit and a tie of eclair, Some marshmallow earmuffs, some licorice shoes, And I`d read a paper of peppermint news. I`d call the boys "Suzy" and I`d call the girls "Harry," I`d talk through my ears, and I always would carry A paper unbrella for when it grew hazy To keep in the rain, if the world was crazy. If the world was crazy, you know what I`d do? I`d walk on the ocean and swim in my shoe, I`d fly through the ground and I`d skip through the air, I`d run down the bathtub and bathe on the stair. When I met somebody I`d say "G`bye, Joe," And when I was leaving - then I`d say "Hello." And the greatest of men would be silly and lazy So I would be king... if the world was cazy.
