It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancin' alone
Side men all want to be front men
And the front me all want to go home
The johnny-come-lately's are comin' in early
The early bird's showin' up late
The straight men all want to be funny
And the funny men all want to get straight
Villians have turned into heroes
Heroes have turned into heels
The dealers all want to be lovers
And the lovers all want to make deals
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancin' alone
Side men all want to be front men
And the front me all want to go home
The meek they ain't inheirited nothin'
The leaders are fallin' behind
So I'm singin' my song to the deaf man
And dancin' my dance to the blind
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancin' alone
Side men all want to be front men
And the front me all want to go home
It's the world's gone crazy cotillion
The ladies are dancin' alone
Side men all want to be front men
And the front me all want to go home
