You stared a while Then said to me Give me a smile And aren't you having fun? Stood in my path Down in the street I wouldn't laugh And you looked so stunned I think you Had no clue I will be blue Like a hermit in its shell Like Jesus Christ on the hill I'll be blue I'll be blue We had a drink I sang some songs You had to think I didn't know my place at all Please pardon me For these my wrongs And I will leave But I won't put your party face on I'll be blue I will be blue I will be blue Like the reign of mastodon Like the alleys of old Lyon I'll be blue I'll be blue
