More red

And a little more red

Blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue

Even even

Good

Bum bum bum

Bum bum bum bum bum bum

More red

More blue

More beer

More light

Color and light

There's only color and light

Yellow and white

Just blue and yellow and white

See what I mean

That's done with green

Conjoined with orange

Nothing seems to fit me right

The less I wear the more comfortable I feel

More rouge

George is very special

Maybe I am just not special enough for him

If my legs were longer

If my bust was smaller

If my hands were graceful

If my waist was thinner

If my hips were flatter

If my voice was warm

If I could concentrate

I'd be in the Follies

I'd be in the cabaret

Hey

Gentlemen in tall silk hats

And linen spats

Would wait with flowers

I could make them wait for hours

Giddy young aristocrats

With fancy flats

Would drink my health

And I would be as hard as nails

And they'd only want me more

If I was a folly girl

Nah I wouldn't like it much

Married men and stupid boys and too much smoke

And all that noise

And all that color and light

Aren't you proper today miss

Your parasol so properly cocked

Your bustle so perfectly upright

And you sir

Your hat so black

So black to you perhaps

So red to me

None of the others worked at night

So composed for a Sunday

How do you work without the right

Bright

White

Light

How do you fathom George

Red red red red

Red red orange

Red red orange

Orange pick up blue

Pick up red

Pick up orange

From the blue green blue green

Blue green cirlce

On the violet diagonal

Di ag ag ag ag ag o nal nal

Yellow comma yellow comma

Num num num

Num num num num num num

Blue blue blue blue

Blue still sitting

Red that perfume

Blue all night

Blue green the window shut

Dut dut dut

Dot Dot sitting

Dot Dot waiting

Dot Dot getting fat fat fat

More yellow

Dot Dot waiting to go

Out out out

No no no George

Finish the hat finish the hat

Have to finish the hat first

Hat hat hat hat

Hot hot hot it's hot in here

Sunday

Color and light

But how George looks He could look forever

There's only color and light

As if he sees you and he doesn't all at once

Purple and white

What is he thinking when he looks like that

And red and purple and white

What does he see Sometimes not even blinking

Look at this glade girls

Your cool blue spot

His eyes So dark and shiny

No stay in the shade girls

It's getting hot

Some think cold and black

It's getting orange

But it's warm inside his eyes

Hotter

And it's soft inside his eyes

And he burns you with his eyes

Look at her looking

And you're studied like the light

Forever with that mirror What does she see

And you look inside the eyes

The pink lips the red cheeks

And you catch him here and there

The wide eyes studying the round face the tiny pout

But he's never really there

Seeing all of the parts and none of the whole

So you want him even more

But the way she catches light

And you drown inside the eyes

And the color of her hair

I could look at herhim forever

It's going well

Should I wear my red dress or blue

Red

Aren't you going to clean up

Why

The follies George

I have to finish the hat

Slam

D**n

The follies

Will she ever stay silent

Go without me or sulk in the corner

Will she be in the bed when the hat and the grass and the parasol

Have finally found their way

Too green

Do I care

Too blue

Yes

Too soft

What should I do

Well

Red
