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 a C)
'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 with 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 blues.
