Blow the Man Down Song Lyrics for Children | Nursery Rhymes
I’ll sing you a song, a good song of the sea
With a way, hey, blow the man down
And trust that you’ll join in the chorus with me
Give me some time to blow the man down
There was an old skipper I don’t know his name
With a way, hey, blow the man down
Although he once played a remarkable game
Give me some time to blow the man down
His ship lay be-calmed in the tropical sea
With a way, hey, blow the man down
He whistled all day but in vain for a breeze
Give me some time to blow the man down.
Boom, Boom, Ain’t It Great to Be Crazy!
A horse and a flea and three blind mice
Sat on a tombstone shooting dice,
The horse he slipped and fell on the flea,
“Whoops,” said the flea, “there’s a horse on me!”
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Giddy and foolish the whole day through, [some say “Silly and foolish…”]
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
There was an old doctor and his name was Peck.
Fell down the well and broke his neck
Served him right, he was doing wrong.
Should have tended to the sick, and let the well alone.
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Giddy and foolish the whole day through,
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Way down South where bananas grow,
An ant stepped on an elephant’s toe,
The elephant cried with tears in his eyes,
“Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?”
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Giddy and foolish the whole day through,
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Way up North where there’s ice and snow,
There lived a penguin and his name was Joe,
He got so tired of black and white,
He wore pink slacks to the dance last night!
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Giddy and foolish the whole day through,
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Eli, Eli, he sells socks,
a dollar a pair, a nickel a box
The longer you wear them
the shorter they get.
Throw’em in the water
and they don’t get wet.
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Giddy and foolish the whole day through,
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
Late last night, I had a real strange dream,
Ate a nine-pound marshmallow my mom gave me,
When I woke up, I knew somethin’ was wrong,
I looked around and saw my pillow was gone.
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy,
Giddy and foolish the whole day through,
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?
