I Got The Blues, Greens & Reds
John Forster and Tom Chapin

 Listen to this song.

This song is available on Tom Chapin's Billy The Squid.

I got the blues. I got the blues.
I got the something's wrong with everything I do's.
We're jumping on our parents bed and (Crack) we break the frame,
My brother gets the sympathy and I get all the blame.
I'm blue. I'm blue. I'm blue.
I got the nothing's fair, anywhere,
Plunging into deep despair blues.

I got the greens. I got the greens.
I got the greenest jealousy you ever seens.
Today my brother got the greatest bike in history.
Plus everybody likes him more than they like me.
I'm green. I'm green. I'm green.
I got those jealous of the little brat,
I wish I had a bike like that greens.
I go up. I go down. I go every which way
As the feelings I feel color my day.

I got the reds. I got the reds.
I got those I'm so mad that steam comes out my heads.
This time I've really had it, my brother's run amok.
He took my favorite skateboard and he sold it for a buck.
I'm red. I'm red. I'm red.
I got them madder than I've ever been,
I'd really like to throttle him reds.

I got the yellows. I got the yellows.
I got the scared to death of the kid who broke my cellos.
This kid was 6 feet tall and over 6 feet wide
And if I hadn't run away I surely would have died.
I'm yellow. I'm yellow. I'm yellow.

I got those time to swallow all your pride,
Grab your stuff and run and hide yellows.
I go up. I go down. I go every which way
As the feelings I feel color my day.
The feelings I feel color my day.

 

This song is available on Tom Chapin's Billy The Squid.
