Aquamarine Lyrics by Bryce Kulak

Tin Can Telephone

2007

I knew of a man named Mr. Maligne
Who hated most shades of blue and of green
Was not fond of red, yellow, purple, or orange
His favorite colour was Aquamarine!
The drapes and the sofa, the table and chair
His cane and his hat, and his long underwear
The whole of his house, as far as could be seen
Was painted a vibrating Aquamarine!
Mr. Maligne, Mr. Maligne
What was his obsession with Aquamarine?
A rainbow of colour on constant parade
But he chose the one over each other shade
No plum, and no peach, and no bland tangerine
Everything had to be Aquamarine!
His friends knew his wardrobe was more than a mess
They even tried helping him dress and undress
They bought him a vest in a brown velveteen
He exchanged it for one that was Aquamarine!
Mr. Maligne was incredibly skinny
Every last inch of his person was thin
He was bound to remain so lanky and lean
For he only ate food that was Aquamarine!
Mr. Maligne, Mr. Maligne
Could not kick his habit of Aquamarine
In fact, he was happy the way that he was
The happiest ever, and that was because
He had no attachment to drab aubergine
He said: “Hang all the colours but Aquamarine!”
Maligne was dressing in his chamber at a quarter after one
(He was dressing for a party; he was dressing up for fun)
He had donned his jacket, vest, and pants, and now was nearly done
When he noticed that his hat had been left sitting in the sun…
O the horror! O the moaning! O the tragedy, the scene!
When that poor man found his favorite hat
Was no longer Aquamarine!
A bluish-green tear made its way down his cheek
He turned to the glass and took one squeamish peek…
And the grimace his face had contained was dissolved
Maligne found his problem was perfectly solved
After all of his previous fussing and noise
He discovered his new favorite colour was Turquoise
Mr. Maligne, Mr. Maligne!
How ever could he have liked Aquamarine?
That colour was nasty, a garish blue-green
While Turquoise was truly a soft greenish-blue
A flattering colour, exciting and new
This was the colour for Mr. Maligne!
