Karaoké Scarlet Begonias Sublime

As I was walking down rubadub square

Not a chill to the weather 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

It seldom works out the way it does in this song

Hey

'Cos once in a while you get shown in the light

In the strangest of places if you look at it right

Pa pa da

Pa pa da pa da bap

Pa pa da

Pa pa da pa da bap

Pa pa da

Pa pa da pa da bap

Pa da pa pa pa ba da

Pa da bap

It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above because the woman took the loving over me

And just to gain her trust

I bought a microbus because I sold up all my personal property

A tight tie-dyed 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 PCP

And now I hear the police coming after me

Yes now I hear the police coming after me

The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair

She's got the police coming after me

Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves

All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues

And there ain't nothing wrong with the love that's in her eye

I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by

Let her pass by

Oh just to let her pass by
