Green With Envy Blues Lyrics by Paul Frees

The Sherman Brothers Songbook

1961

{PROFESSOR VON DRAKE]
(spoken)
Yes, that's very pretty nice. The soft and pretty blues, that's what I like
(sung)
I'm blue as I can be
Green with jealousy
Look what you've done to me
I got those
Green-with-envy blues
I mean those red-with-anger blues
And there's the purple-with-passion blues
Over you
Orange you going to squeeze me
'Neath the mellow yellow moon
So I can lose those green-with-envy
Red-with-anger, purple-passionatе blues
(spoken)
Alright, take off, boys
(scatting)
Orangе you going to squeeze me
'Neath the mellow yellow moon
So I can lose those green-with-envy
Red-with-anger, purple-passionate blues
(scatting)
(music stops)
(spoken)
Thank you very much, boys
(music starts back up, Von Drake scats again)
(music stops again)
(spoken)
Oh, I'm a tired duck
(music starts back up)
Oranges! They squeeze me
'Neath the mellow yellow moon
So I can lose those green-with-envy
Red-with-pink-and-plaid-and-blue-and-yellow-and-
WHEN DOES THIS THING END ALREADY??!!
What (stammers)-
(sung)
Green with Envy Blues!
