Mauve Lyrics by Ken Nordine

Colors

1995

Mauve is a character
As colorful as characters can come
But in a quiet, quiet way
Mauve is as quiet as a mute
Doesn’t give a hoot
Should’ve been an owl
Wise and old
Mauve only cares about dancing
Quiet, quiet dancing
Makes sense
At least a kind of mauve sense
And for oh so many reasons
But mostly, it’s the way Mauve moves
That makes Mauve so amazing
Such a joy to see
Mauve moving
Is as graceful as glide
That’s true
It’s known far and wide
Every move mauve makes makes marvelous sense
A kind of miracle is mauve
Moving, quiet
See it, mauve
Moving quiet
