Sepia Lyrics by Ken Nordine

Colors

1995

They're about to begin
The group called "Oop"
C’mon in
Muck
That's sepia
Smooth as a smoothie is smooth
On the edge of it all
Wiser than otherwise is
Like the else of something else
Oh, they're about to begin the beginning of begin
That’s yellow ocher playing around
Swaying sound
With the loose tendrils of his ticky tock time
And that!
Oh ho, that's burnt umber!
Just got out
You remember umber
Who could forget umber
The way he was burnt
Oh, there's good old raw sienna
Playing changes
Look at him good
Goofiness Inc
But as thoughtful as think
Hey, sepia is about to play
Smooth as a smoothie is smooth
On the edge of it all
Wiser than otherwise is
Like the else of something else
A most colorful group
Called "Oop"
