INFORMATION

The title of the song is derived from a scene in the Marx Brothers' 1935 movie A Night at the Opera. Groucho Marx is attempting to explain the intricacies of a business contract to Chico Marx. When Groucho mentions the Sanity Clause, Chico responds, "You can't fool me, there ain't no sanity clause."
