Let's Go Crazy Lyrics
Artist: Prince
Album: Hits-The B-Sides
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell u
There's something else
The afterworld
A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night
So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own
And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor
If u don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around u
At least u got friends
U see I called my old lady
4 a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Sex, sex) is all I heard
Are we gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no Let's Go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's cuz
We're all gonna die
And when we do (When we do)
What's it all 4 (What's it all 4)
U better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy
Let's go crazy
Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazy
I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go
Let's go
Dr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill
Hang tough children
He's coming
He's coming
Coming
Take me away!

Comments/Interpretations
im def. not a prince kinda grl but hey im 15 nd this song rocks! i love it! I LOVE U PRINCE!
I know this will sound insane, but it sounds like he's singing "slip on a purple manatee and put us in the truck"..
i didn't know prince done this song. i got the punk rock cover to this song :)
I absolutely LOVE Prince. I have all his music and just totally dig him. He is such an artist!
this song roxz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
That sentence sums all optimism that I need when I feel down:
"And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor"
awesome
Prince is the king!!!
This song is about something powerful. Good Triumphing over evil. The elevator is metaphor for the devil. Punch a higher floor. Rise above.
Just in case some didn't know, but I am sure most did.
Prince is GOD!
i love this song! even as a 5 year old i loved princes music (i'm 12 now). i also love singing and it's great becuase on a sad day i sing this song and it really cheers me up. Me and Prince rock at singing! woooooooo!!!!
AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!
I always wanted to know wat he said "Look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!"
Yeaaahaaaa !!!!
Uuhhh...what does the purple banana supposed to represent in this song?
I think looking 4 the purple banana is something crazy and nuts
Oh come on, the purple banana is the male organ.
prince is genious! he is a timeless artist and this is one of my favorites of all time!!!!!!!!!!!
The Refused cover for this song is great.
I know prince is way ahead of my time cause i just turned 13 but who cares. Let's Go Crazy!!
I'm with you Ali but I'm 14 year old and this is my favorite song and I love him, Prince is a genius and he is sexy!! :)
A Blast,
The elevator going down is a symbolism of going to hell as prince has stated in a interview he did a while back. I kind of doubt the purple banana is a male organ. Not everyone would go looking for that.
If you missed Prince on his farewell tour, you missed it! If you caught it, man... that guy puts on a show. So good I saw it 2X.
es apero llamarmae igual que tu
check out the cover of this song bu incubus...heard them do it live and it was killer...it is n the new cd monuments and melodies
i absolutely LOVE Prince n everythin he,s done....he's a true legend!!!!amazin!!! xx
the cover that incubus did is almost exactly like prince........i didnt even know that prince made this song until my parents told me......brandon boyds voice(from incubus) is amazing and i think they did an amazing job on it!
the incubus version is rockin, check it out.
"I know this will sound insane, but it sounds like he's singing "slip on a purple manatee and put us in the truck".."
LOLOL! It DOES sound like that!
the version incubus does, it very good i didn't even know it was them. but i enjoy it i think they respected the song and did it beautifully

Jesus have mercy on all of our souls because we need it from time 2 time ~

More than 20 years when I've listen to LP (still have it), Purple rain, Let's go crazy and take me with you have been always my beloved songs, I'm loking for drum tabs and some help of hardware he used, to bake it, let me know
przemyslawlxx@gmai.com
love this song
nice songs
are u 52
He's definitely craZy as hell but most of the great ones are.
This song is so freakin amazing! Im 15 and in love with Prince!!
wat contry is he a prince in?
I've been listening to prince my whole life, I'm sure, I just never asked who sang my fave songs until I got my iPod. My fave song is when doves cry, but this is my second fave.
Awsome hell yea
dis song rocks
nah, real talk what does the purple Bannana stand for and is this song really about going crazy?
wow what a bunch of nerds on this page!!
i really like this song
this song speaks to Prince's deep Christianity. Go nuts til he comes, he's coming. He only makes you believe it's sexual because he likes to play head games. He is truly a master of lyrics.
OMG I LOVE PRINCE. LOL.
Prince, he's the best. AND He's a total hottie.
Prince IS the master of lyrics.
Lust and Love.
And religion.
Love ya prince. :]
he is seriously the most amazing guy ever no words can describe the awesome!!
the old school version of gaga
PRINCE~ The prentend boyfriend of many!!! He takes writing poetry to a whole new level...word!!
i have never heard your songs i live in 2806 s.komenty
Lady Gaga is in no way in the same league as Prince. Haha. Prince is one and he's only. It sucks I wasn't born earlier. Grr…
Shut Up, People. Prince Is Not Like Lady GaGa. r__r'
AND. It's Not That Awesome When A Little 12 y.o. Girl Listen To That Type Of Songs. It Makes You A Pervert, You Know?
@Dijon: Prince Is From Minnesota City, MN. C:
yesterday prince in concert, Ahoy Rotterdam. IT WAS CRAZY!
ta amınıza koyayım
I have been listen to Prince for many years . To hear & see the one and only little great genius ...its my life support ; gonna make this song my new year resolution!
Lets go crazy in 2012!!!
i agree with some of the other people posting that say this song is about prince's christian outlook on life but I think it's about erotic as well as religious ecstasy. I take the lyrics to mean that the psychiatrist is trying to force people to conform and think that life shouldn't be hard when in fact the real you-the spiritual you- would seem crazy in everyday life and overly sexual and there's nothing wrong with that.
The song does not say Electric word life... it says "I looked up the word life"
I swear all this time I thought it was manatee and I am one of the biggest fans you'll find smh ahhahaha
...it's looking for the purple man until they throw us in the truck. The "purple man" represents a variety of things; for some, the/a savior, for others salvation through music, or even drugs (another high) even sexual ecstasy. It's like a holy grail. Prince is so freakin' deep.
This is 1 of prince's best songs
Fitting song to say farewell to a genius
A great song.
So tell me WHY it is that you can't type the lyrics correctly. I very much doubt that Prince wrote "2" instead of "to".
Please tell me it isn't a lack of ability...
RIP Prince...
RIP....ironic he passed in an elevator.....he will be greatly missed.....
R.I.P
Dearly beloved

1 james 5
How ironic "don't let de- elevator bring us down" and that's where Prince was found..in his elevator--1st floor. Prophetic.
i'm almost 60 so the song i use to dance to and go crazy. it is sad if you ask me i don't think it was irony but on purpose
In a conversation he had with L.A. Reid, he indicated that the elevator referenced in this song referred to the devil. I am really torn about his whole death being a fan since the 1980's. I keep envisioning his small frame slumped over in an elevator and no one around him. He died so alone in that empty mansion. Heartbreaking man!
annoyed: Prince had a habit of using numbers and single letters in his song and album titles (e.g. Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, Nothing Compares 2 U, I Would Die 4 U), maybe he did it in lyrics too? this us not laziness from the person who posted the lyrics. Crazy that even in the 80s, Prince was using chat/text language, lol!
Annabelle Torres: I don't get starstruck, obsessed w celebrity lives, but that image has been bringing me down too. just alone in an elevator, was he suddenly tired and passed out? did he know he was dying? did he faint? and cremated so soon after the autopsy! within the week! so I get sad picturing him in the elevator, and now as a pile of ashes on a shelf somewhere....
When I heard alot of princes songs on said raido during the early ,80's I would dance all about and sing along with his lyrics just the same ,but now that he has passed any of his songs played on said radio all over every station across the united States will always be a tribute to him from this day forward ! Long live King Prince !
My 3 yr old granddaughter already know that PRINCE is the man, she loves the movie Purple Rain.
