Lyrics:

Got me a pair of dreary eyes

Pale colour blue upon pale colour white

Sometimes they cry

Sometimes they dry

Pale colour blue upon pale colour white

Got me a pair of dreary eyes

And they tell no lies, oh

I got me some lips but they taste no sweet

I got me some lips but they taste no sweet

They're as dry as the old concrete

Beaten up New York street

And they taste no sweet

They taste no sweet

If only my baby would come back home to me

Oh, if only my baby would come back home to me

I would go to sleep with

Sugar on my tongue

I would go to sleep with

Sweetness in my lungs

I would go to sleep

Wrapped inside his skin

And I don't care what they say

But it ain't no sin

Oh, it ain't no sin

It ain't no sin

So, me and Poseidon, we been hanging around the water hole, and he says to me, he says

"Regina"

"Regina, I got no authority no more

No one waits to hear the sound of my flip-flops by the door

And all my little fish

Have gone to war"

So I says to him, I says

"Poseidon, dear

You're better off than me, I hear

'Cause I been taking all the wrong buses everywhere

Wrong buses, they lead me to wrong stops

Wrong stops, they lead me to wrong people

Wrong people, they take me nowhere fast"

So he says to me, he says

"Going nowhere fast"

Just 'cause he didn't want me speaking last

And I didn't think that was real polite

And he whips out his cigarettes and asks me for a light

And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"

And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"

And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"

And then he just doesn't speak

So we just sit there and stare

Finally he says, he says, "oh, hell"

And I try not to wince at his fishy smell

'Cause I didn't think that that was real polite

And he whips out his cigarettes and asks me for a light

And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"

And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"

And I say "no," and he says, "oh, baby"

And then he just, he just doesn't speak

Got me a pair of dreary eyes

Pale colour blue upon pale colour white

Sometimes they cry

Sometimes they dry

Pale colour blue like the dingy sky

Pale colour blue, pale colour blue

Pale colour blue upon pale colour white
