One of the last records released on the OKeh label, by that point just a trade name, as Columbia had purchased the label a few years earlier.
Despite heightened fidelity through recent transfers using improved techniques, historians remain divided about the lyrics in some cases:
– “Everybody calls...
(I don't hear!)
[Verse 1]
I just now changed my notion
Gonna dive right in m'ocean
Ain't no use thinking on an insane crazy plan
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody calls it love
Me 'n my little turtle dove
It ain't no use thinking on an insane crazy plan
[Chorus]
Why would I go insane?
Standin' out in the rain (Yeah!)
Thinkin' 'bout my baby
It don't mean a thing
Everybody knows it well
Me and my little mademoiselle
It ain't no use thinking on an insane crazy plan (I don't hear)

[Laughing]
(Du-du-du-da)
(Dee-dee-doe)

(Ah-beep-dee-dee-do, dee-dee-dee-da-dee, da-da-dow-da)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Now look here!)
Everybody knows it's love
Me 'n my little turtle dove
It ain't no use takin' on an insane crazy plan
Everybody knows a notion
All about that deep blue ocean
It ain't no use takin' on an insane crazy plan
[Chorus]
I'm goin' insane
Still standing out in the rain (Yeah!)
Spent a thousand dollars
It don't mean a thing
Everybody knows it well (Yeah!)

Ain't no use thinking on an insane crazy plan (Where's that sound?, oh)
(Enough-look here!)

(Oh-bada, da-dadada-da-da)
(Op-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Look here!) (Wha?)
Everybody calls it love (Yaow!)

It ain't no use thinking on an insane crazy plan (Wha?)
Everybody knows it well (Well!)
Me n' my miss', mademoiselle (Uh-huh)
It ain't no use takin' on an insane crazy plan ([?])
[Chorus]

Standin' out in the rain
Twenty thousand dollars, yeah

Everybody knows it well
Oh me and miss mademoiselle
It ain't no use thinking on an insane crazy plan
