I Want You Baby Lyrics by Robert Hawkins

The Serious Life

0

Part 1: Emerald City Green - Tinst
[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
I want to be seen green
Wouldn't be caught dead, red
‘Cause if you are seen green
It means you got mean bread
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You've got to be seen in green
To show that your stuff's laid
If you're not seen green
You better be wearing jade
(Oh-oh-oh)
You've got to be seen green
Don't tell them your cupboard's bare
That you gave up one week's feed
To pay for your colored hair
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
[Bridge: Richard Pryor]
(An announcement from the great and powerful Oz)
I thought it over and green is dead
'Till I change my mind, the color is red
Part 2: Emerald City Red - Teslta
[Verse 1]
I wouldn't be seen green
Ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, ah-ah
I wouldn't be caught dead
And if I'm caught at all
Then catch me in dead red (Ooh)
You've got to be dead red
You've got to be real hot
So throw away those green gems
And wear rubies on your yacht
You've got to be dead red
You've got to have flash and flair
And if you're not seen red
Then you shouldn't be seen nowhere, ahh
[Bridge: Richard Pryor]
How quickly fashion goes down the drain
Last week when you all was wearin' pink
Already for me red was old
The ultimate yellow brick is gold
That's the new color children, hit it
Part 3: Emerald City Gold - Tandelle
[Chorus]
Golden gold, golden gold
Golden gold, golden gold
[Verse 1]
You got to be seen gold
Watch out for the new kind
You got to have old gold
Like some from a gold mine
You got to be wearin' gold
The twenty-four karat kind
And once you've shined it up
It should ought to make you blind, ah
You got to be seen in gold
To show that you're super slick
It helps to pay tips and tolls
It's the ultimate yellow brick
It's the ultimate, gold (Yeah)
[Outro]
(Golden gold, golden gold)
(Golden gold, golden gold) Ah
(Golden gold, golden gold)
(Golden gold, golden gold)
(Golden gold, golden gold)
(Golden gold, golden gold)
(Golden gold, golden gold)
(Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold)
