Intro:
AmYah yah Gyah, Fyah yah yah, yah yah yah (repeat)
GMeeAmt Mr. Blue, eleGgant Jew of New FYork City
Ex-real Amestate man, sits Gon the can, always Flooks pretty
And Miss NevAmer-Say-Please, pink and Gwhite knees, faFvorite kitty
Movie star Cqueen fell off the Emscreen, Foh, what a pity
Diamonds and things, shiners and dings, powder-puff whore
And a backgammon king having a fling behind locked doors
It's just a sleepy-time binge, disposable syringe, there's never no more
With pin-ups and thugs, dealers and drugs, escaping the boys
Straighten your hair, powder your nose, little junkettes
Look down on the street, nobody knows about you yet
But you're pink as the rose pinned to your clothes, how I'd regret
Should your show, come to a close, as a vignette
Meet Mr. Blue 
Shooting stars, they have fallen all around you
Where it is they all fall to, no one knows
Pretty soon I'm gonna shoot myself... up with you
Just to find out where it is that you go
Verse 1
