Crazy John Lyrics by Mighty Sparrow

Calypso Carnival

1968

[Verse 1]
She sufferin' with corn
And she dancin' with Crazy John
Sufferin' with corn
And she dancin' with Crazy John

Mama, if you see this brute
Accidentally stand up on she foot
Wilma bawl as she fall
On the floor in the dance hall

[Chorus]
(Ohhh Lord)
Crazy John you can't dance
(Give another man a chance)
Crazy John you can't dance
(Give another man a chance)

Well all you doin' is stumblin', jumpin', scramblin'
Fightin', pushin', kickin', stampin'
Sweatin', fannin', trippin', arguein'
Slidin' around the floor

[Verse 2]
Well he pick she up in pain
And they start back to dance again
The more the music play
The more she struggling to get away

Mama, that was tug-of-war
Two of them wrestling on the floor
In the heat of the thing
Crazy John kick she on she shin

[Chorus]
(Ohhh Lord)
Crazy John you can't dance
(Give another man a chance)
Crazy John you can't dance
(Give another man a chance)

Well all you doin' is tacklin', feetsin', grabbin'
Prancin', divin', rollin', shoutin'
Slippin', slidin', scratchin', rubbin'
Gallopin' up the floor

[Verse 3]
It's a giant of a man
Dancing Wilma in front the band
And jumping up and down
Like if he is a circus clown

She bawlin' but he ain't care
Grab she and lift she in the air
Man, I laugh 'til I roll
Crazy John say he diggin' soul

[Chorus]
(Ohhh Lord)
Crazy John you can't dance
(Give another man a chance)
Crazy John you can't dance
(Give another man a chance)

Well all you doin' is skatin', duckin', wrestlin'
Bumpin', bouncin', draggin', jammin'
Ziggin', zaggin', gigglin', dribblin'
Clownin' around the floor
