Cool Maroon

-
- Now I'm a guy who's been a-round the block a time or
two
- And I can't help but notice what you're wear-ing
- Now if you want so-phisti-cated girls to look at you
- You'd better try to dress a bit more daring
- Now white is al-right and gray is O-K
- But if you want those pretty cit-y chicks to swoon
- Step out of those blues
- Get your-self into some different hues
- And slip into some cool ma-roon
-
- Now Mother nature blushed the day that Jack laid eyes
on Jill
- "Holy cow!" he said, "This chick's astounding!"
- When he chased her up that hill
- He thought he was in for a thrill
- And heaven knows his little heart was--pounding
- But Jill was not impressed
- She didn't dig the way he dressed
- That romance flopped when she popped his balloon
- Now Jackie boy struck out
- Between you and me there is no doubt
- He should have dressed in cool maroon
-
- Bridge
- Now when you make your way
- Down the Champs Ely-see'
- A million gay Parisiennes will a-dore ya
- They all under-stand vous etes ameri-cains
- When you let your poly-esters do your talkin for
ya
-
- Now the Ruskies and the Yanks
- They've really had their ups and downs
- And everybody wants negotiations
- They advertize their missile size
- And throw their weight around
- Hey that's no way to smooth out our relations
- Why don't they get hip and drop this crazy ego trip
- If you want those Muskovites to change their tune
- Chuck those ugly threads
- If you want to turn their heads
- Negotiate in cool maroon
-
- We're talking some kind of red
