GIVE A GIRL A GREEN GOWN
When you roll me around On the grass, on the cold ground You give this girl a green gown.
With your eyes so brown, A lover of renown. Starting at sundown You gave this girl a green gown.
Singing me some Motown Before you'd go down. We did it upside down. Then you gave this girl a green gown.
Fireworks from Chinatown Watching them come raining down Sounds of our moaning drown And you gave this girl a green gown.
Waited till the streets shut down. Walked to the park from uptown. Between the pond and playground You gave this girl a green gown.
Naked in public was unsound. But you had me spellbound. Out where the flower fields abound You gave this girl a green gown.
Wind was blowing northbound My mouth was edging southbound. You kept rolling me around. And you gave this girl a green gown.
Give this girl a green gown When you roll me around On the grass, on the cold ground You gave this girl a green gown.
At dawn began the countdown. Sun came up. It was a letdown. Just one more time: Roll me around. And give this girl a green gown.
