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
