Love Oh Crazy Love

On every March and April When spring is in the air A fever starts a'spreading But we don't seem to care Love, oh, crazy love Love, oh, crazy love That's what we call this mangy germ Love, oh, crazy love (What is love, Carl?) (Why June, that's a aching heart and burning desire) (Put them together and what have you got? Heartburn) (Ain't it the truth, ain't it the truth) (Oh, it terrible) (You sing a verse now) I saw a little mugwump (Mugwump?) A'sitting on a tree Until he saw a female He was as happy as could be Love, oh, crazy love Love, oh, crazy love And now she's pecking him to death Love, oh, crazy love (June, what in the world is a mugwump?) (It's a little bird that sits on the fence with its mug on one side and its wump on the other) (I guess I asked for that, didn't it?) (You sure did) (Well, I'm going sing about the rabbits now) (Alrighty) I had two little rabbits They never got along Until they heard me singing A silly, old love song Love, oh, crazy love Love, oh, crazy love Now I got sixteen more to feed Love, oh, crazy love (Let's us say a poem) (Alright, June, I'll say the first line) (The rabbit's nose is shining, I'll tell you as a friend) (That's cause the powder puff is on the wrong end) (Ain't it the truth, huh?) A bachelor he was singing (That was me) And a'minding his own way (Wasn't it true) And then I came a'prancing by And I wanted him to play Love, oh, crazy love Love, oh, crazy love And now she's got me buckled down Love, oh, crazy love (I shot a bachelor for kissing me once) (Why? Was he the first one that ever tried to kiss you?) (No, but he was the first one that ever tried it with his mouth full of tobacco juice) (Well, good for you) (It was a tragedy) (It was, huh?) (Oh, it was terrible) (I would 've thought you'd have liked it, I'll sing now) (You'd better or I'll knock the fire out of you) I thought I had the will power Enough to stay at home But every time I see a girl I can't leave her alone (No) Love, oh, crazy love Love, oh, crazy love I'd better never catch you, boy Love, oh, crazy love --- Love Oh Crazy Love - Carl Smith and June Carter Cash
