Life, me, what it's cracked up to be, Can my friends all wish me dead, Maybe then they'll all agree, That the flowers improve me - Pink and purple, yellow and red, Pink and purple, yellow and red At my head. Wish me dead! My life is wasted, The fruits I have tasted Have turned sour and then let me down. My girl has left me, the bad down upset me, I'll keep both my feet on the ground. Now, though the whiskey bottles low, On my face there is a smile. Show them something gonna blow, In my head I see The pink and purple, yellow and red Round my head, It's gonna blow. Tell me, I'm dreaming, I look at the ceiling, As I lie alone on my bed. These what I meant to, The rooms full of laughter And pink and purple, yellow and red.
