1
Got me a pair of dreary eyes
2
Pale colour blue upon pale colour white
3
Sometimes they cry
4
Sometimes they dry
5
Pale colour blue upon pale colour white
6
Got me a pair of dreary eyes
7
And they tell no lies, oh
8
I got me some lips but they taste no sweet
9
I got me some lips but they taste no sweet
10
They're as dry as the old concrete
11
Beaten up New York street
12
And they taste no sweet
13
They taste no sweet
14
If only my baby would come back home to me
15
Oh, if only my baby would come back home to me
16
I would go to sleep with
17
Sugar on my tongue
18
I would go to sleep with
19
Sweetness in my lungs
20
I would go to sleep
21
Wrapped inside his skin
22
And I don't care what they say
23
But it ain't no sin
24
Oh, it ain't no sin
25
It ain't no sin
26
So, me and Poseidon, we been hanging around the water hole, and he says to me, he says
27
"Regina"
28
"Regina, I got no authority no more
29
No one waits to hear the sound of my flip-flops by the door
30
And all my little fish
31
Have gone to war"
32
So I says to him, I says
33
"Poseidon, dear
34
You're better off than me, I hear
35
'Cause I been taking all the wrong buses everywhere
36
Wrong buses, they lead me to wrong stops
37
Wrong stops, they lead me to wrong people
38
Wrong people, they take me nowhere fast"
39
So he says to me, he says
40
"Going nowhere fast"
41
Just 'cause he didn't want me speaking last
42
And I didn't think that was real polite
43
And he whips out his cigarettes and asks me for a light
44
And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"
45
And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"
46
And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"
47
And then he just doesn't speak
48
So we just sit there and stare
49
Finally he says, he says, "oh, hell"
50
And I try not to wince at his fishy smell
51
'Cause I didn't think that that was real polite
52
And he whips out his cigarettes and asks me for a light
53
And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"
54
And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"
55
And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"
56
And then he just, he just doesn't speak
57
Got me a pair of dreary eyes
58
Pale colour blue upon pale colour white
59
Sometimes they cry
60
Sometimes they dry
61
Pale colour blue like the dingy sky
62
Pale colour blue, pale colour blue
63
Pale colour blue upon pale colour white
