Crazy Over You 1906

Young William Brown
Came from a town
that they call Skowhegan, Maine.
He looked so cute
in a seersucker suit,
And a Panama hat
that was a beaut.
While trav'ling
he met a ragtime soubrette
with her hair just painted red
and it started the fire of
William's desire
so quickly to her he said.

I'm crazy, I'm crazy
I'm crazy over you
won't you hand me out
a lovin' little kiss or two,
or off to the foolhouse
I'll have to skidoo,
'cause I'm going crazy, crazy,
crazy over you.

I'm crazy, I'm crazy
I'm crazy over you
won't you hand me out
a lovin' little kiss or two,
or off to the foolhouse
I'll have to skidoo,
'cause I'm going crazy, crazy,
crazy over you.

She said to Bill:
"I'm with Corse Payton still,
Won't you come and see the show?"
Bill said:
"By Gum,
you can bet I will come,
buy a ten cent ticket
and that's goin' some."
She said we play in East Lynne today
Bill replied just like a gawk
now the town of East Lynne I never was in
But I'll meet you in East New York for

I'm crazy, I'm crazy
I'm crazy over you
won't you hand me out
a lovin' little kiss or two,
or off to the foolhouse
I'll have to skidoo,
'cause I'm going crazy, crazy,
crazy over you.

I'm crazy, I'm crazy
I'm crazy over you
won't you hand me out
a lovin' little kiss or two,
or off to the foolhouse
I'll have to skidoo,
'cause I'm going crazy, crazy,
crazy over you.

The night was dark
Bill was out in the park
when a female form he spied.
In a shady retreat,
far away from the heat,
then by her side
he took a seat.
He thought it was grand
while holding her hand
for a kiss she turned her head
by the light of the moon
Bill saw 'twas a coon,
who was rolling her eyes and said.

I'm crazy, I'm crazy
I'm crazy over you
won't you hand me out
a lovin' little kiss or two,
or off to the foolhouse
I'll have to skidoo,
'cause I'm going crazy, crazy,
crazy over you.

I'm crazy, I'm crazy
I'm crazy over you
won't you hand me out
a lovin' little kiss or two,
or off to the foolhouse
I'll have to skidoo,
'cause I'm going crazy, crazy,
crazy over you.
