Lyrics

I'm blue as I can be,
Green with jealousy.
Look what you done to me.
I've got those green with envy blues.
I mean those red with anger blues,
And there's the purple with passion blues
Over you.

Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh.

Orange, you gonna squeeze me (with the seeds)
'Neath the mellow yellow moon,
So I can lose those green with envy red
with anger purple passionate blues.

Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh.

(I got to get something for that.)

Purple with passion blues
Over you
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh.
Orange, you gonna squeeze me
'Neath the mellow yellow moon,
So I can lose those green with envy red
With anger purple passionate blues.

And that's the green with envy bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuues.

Ha ha ha! Did you hear that note? Ha ha! It came out bluuuue!
