To listen to Blue Lotus, click here
There’s a man you often mention, who’s been paying you
attention,
And he’s causing hypertension when you sleep.
He’s a maker of inventions - to the world’s
incomprehension –
And inhabits a dimension that appears to be deep.
He’s a breaker of convention, though his total
condescension
Has caused misapprehension that’s he’s cheap.
He’s a martyr to abstention, but of dubious intention,
And he’s waiting for his pension, and your mum thinks
he’s a creep.
Keep on dreaming pretty baby, keep on thinking that
it’s maybe
Time for destiny to call you to your fate.
Keep on hoping he won’t tarry, though it may not be to
marry
You, who knows he might just ask you for a date.
There’s some scheme he’s always brewing, there’s that
company he’s suing,
And his debts keep on accruing, yet he thinks that
he’s astute.
There’s the gum he’s always chewing and his rages when
he’s queuing,
And the loafers and the ear-ring may be moot.
And he may be misconstruing when you say you hate
tattooing
But what kind of man goes wooing in a 50 dollar suit?
Babe he isn’t worth pursuing, ’cos he don’t know what
he’s doing,
And he’ll lead you to your ruin, though admittedly
he’s cute.
Keep on listening to those heartbeats, don’t go
walking down those meanstreets,
Passion only blooms out in the sun.
Keep on hoping that he’ll notice, keep on eating the
blue lotus,
You never know he might just be the one.
Well the girls say he’s a loser, and we all know he’s
a boozer,
And a dedicated schmoozer to boot.
He’s got zero sense of fashion, his hair is turning
ashen,
And when it comes to passion he’s a brute.
He hasn’t any money, and his jokes are never funny,
Though his temperament is sunny – that’s something no
one can dispute.
His reputation’s lousy and his love-making, well,
drowsy,
And he’ll fire from the hip before you shoot.
Keep on dreaming pretty baby, keep on thinking that
it’s maybe
Time for destiny to call you to your fate.
Keep on hoping he won’t tarry, though it may not be to
marry
You, who knows he might just ask you for a date.
Keep on listening to those heartbeats, don’t go
walking down those meanstreets,
Passion only blooms out in the sun.
Keep on hoping that he’ll notice, keep on eating the
blue lotus,
You never know he might just be the one.
