lee adams and charles strouse – colorful lyrics
[joe, spoken]
colorful copy, mr. drake?
why, sir, you don’t know how colorful i done been
(sung)
when i was very young
brand new upon the scene
had no experience
that’s right: i was green
then i grew up a bit
found out a thing or two
sometimes i’d get unhappy
in short: i was blue
as far as politics goes i never turned red
i’m smarter than you might think
and every time i’ve been told
“boy, you’re good as gold”
say, i’m just tickled pink!
i’ve tried all shorts of shades
put them to the test
but, i look at myself and black
suits me best
black is chic
always correct for the house or yard
black is neat
it goes with everything and doesn’t try too hard
black is basic, you’ll agree
as the d-ch-ss of windsor would say: ah!
black is me!
well, i’ve been yellow at times, i’m sorry to say
yes, i’ve been afraid to fight
drake, i’ve been scared as can be
but, take it from me
daddy, i ain’t never turned white
so, when i’m old and grey
and i’m heading for my last rest
guess i’ll still have to say that black
not kelly green
but black
not tangerine
but black
that’s b-l-a-c-k, dig?
black suits me best
and that’s it!
