Lyrics
Chorus
Insanity, insanity
His married life was filled with pain
Then he finds out he was insane
He asks the judge to kindly set him free
The man gets loose for his excuse
Is pure insanity
Chorus
Insanity, insanity
He wants to show that he’s awf’lly sweet
But all the time his foot’s asleep
He thinks it’s love
But just twixt you and me
When wed, no doubt
He’ll then find out
That it’s pure insanity
Chorus
Insanity, insanity
“There hasn’t been a fish in there
Since Washington crossed the Delaware
So come inside and keep me company
Forget the eels and mend your wheels
It’s pure insanity”
