it's a mad mad world
it's a mad mad world
it's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world

it's a mad mad world
it's a mad mad world
it's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world

verse #1:
everybody's checkin' out eachother everyday
watching how they walk, talk, dress and how they play
for some reason, every season, this continues on
these attitudes im speaking of exist from dusk till dawn

bridge:
this continues on
exists from dusk till dawn
this continues on
let me hear, let me hear you say

chorus:
woah oh oh oh, twenty four seven
twenty four hours a day, i watch the games that people play
woah oh oh oh, twenty four seven
seven days a week, without a wink of sleep

verse #2:
listen to the average conversation on the streets
and you will find people knocking people they meet
if i had a dime for every dozen word they speak
i'll never have to work another day of any week.

bridge:
people in the streets
any day of the week
people in the streets
let me hear, let me hear you say

chorus:
woah oh oh oh, twenty four seven
twenty four hours a day, i watch the games that people play
woah oh oh oh, twenty four seven
seven days a week, without a wink of sleep

verse #3:
why pretend you'd be a friend then really be a foe?
the answer to this question i don't think we'll ever know
to get ahead you need a friend or two,
but in time you'll find your only friend is you

bridge:
you need a friend or two
your only friend is you
you need a friend or two
let me hear, let me hear you say

chorus:
woah oh oh oh, twenty four seven
twenty four hours a day, i watch the games that people play

(twenty four...seven)
(twenty four...seven)

let me hear, let me hear you say....
twenty four hours a day, i watch the games that people play
seven days a week, without a wink of sleep

(twenty four...seven)
(twenty four...seven)

it's a mad mad world
it's a mad mad world
it's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world

it's a mad mad world
it's a mad mad world
it's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world

(twenty four...seven)
(twenty four...seven)

ending:
each and every day, i watch them play,
those games, against, their friends it's a shame
each and every day, i watch them play,
there has to be an end to this game.

woah oh oh oh, twenty four seven
things will get better no matter what the weather (yeah)
woah oh oh oh, twenty four seven
and if you wanna sleep..
Everybody say (wooooaaahhh)
woah oh oh oh, twenty four seven...
