|
As I was walkin' down |
|
Rubadub Square |
|
Not a chill to the wind but a nip to the air |
|
From another direction she was caught in my eye |
|
It could be an illusion but |
|
I might as well try, might as well try |
|
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes |
|
And I knew without asking she was into the blues |
|
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls |
|
I knew right away she was not like other girls, like other girls |
|
Well I ain't never been right as |
|
I ain't never been wrong |
|
As heaven works out the way it does in this song(Hey) |
|
Because once in a while you get shown in the light |
|
In the strangest of places if you look at it right |
|
It was the summer of love and |
|
I thank the stars above |
|
Because the woman took a lovin' over me |
|
And just to gain her trust |
|
I bought a microbes |
|
Because I sold off all my personal property |
|
A tight tye-dye dress she was a psychedelic mess |
|
We toured to the north, south, east, and west |
|
We sold some mushroom tea, we sold some ecstasy |
|
We sold nitrous, opium acid, heroin, and |
|
PCPAnd now |
|
I hear the police comin' after me |
|
Yes now I hear the police comin' after me |
|
The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair |
|
She's got the police comin' after me |
|
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the way she moves |
|
All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues |
|
And there ain't nothin' wrong with the love that's in her eye |
|
I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by, let it pass by |
|
Oh just let her pass by |
