People come people go, how long I?ll stay I just don?t know   When showbiz is a dirty word, I hope my time will come   Crackpot history and the right to lie      People love people hate, for my downfall they just can?t wait   When showbiz is a dirty word, I hope my time will come   Crackpot history and the right to lie      I wish that everyone could see a show by Liza Minnelli   Such a marvelous lady with talent by the ton   Crackpot history and the right to lie      People lie people hurt, like to read their Sunday dirt   So every Jekyll needs a Hyde to blame the business on   Crackpot history and the right to lie      Every rebel that I?ve met say they?re going to die and yet   I see them now and they ain?t dead yet, and pushing forty one   Crackpot history and the right to lie      Pumping is a splendid gift, I hope that you will catch my drift   Some like pumping in the lift, just like the Scottish tongs   Crackpot history and the right to lie      There is nothing like the sound of a nicely laundered pound   Trying to collect around forty million   Crackpot history and the right to lie   Crackpot history
