Baby Blues

(A song in be flat)

Oh my baby's got the blues
And I watch him, and I sigh
I just don't know what to do
I wait and hope as time goes by.

Sometimes he lies and smiles at me
As if he needed nothing more.
But he's as blue as blue can be
Just 'coz of the baby store.

All I see there is pink or blue
Apparently that's all they sell.
Everything looks nice and new,
But the colors aren't that swell.

So my baby's swathed in blue,
And it's blowing out my mind
But I don't know what to do,
No other colours can I find.

No sunset peach, no grassy green,
No earthy shade, no gentle hue
No weave, no texture and no sheen -
Just a flat landscape of blue.

So my baby's got the blues
Though he doesn't seem to care.
He's fancy free and he's footloose
His world is far away, elsewhere.
