Story Behind The Song

Needed to write a shuffle tune for a contest. This is what came out. Got an honorble mention @ Songdoor.

Lyrics

I've got this strange affliction
That's turnin' my life inside out
Don't know my left from my right
Been changed from mean to polite
It's confusin', without a doubt

What's got me in this kerfuffle
Like I'd been drinkin' too much zinfandel
It ain't a "what" it's a "who"
And I'm confessin' to you
This could be trouble
Or somethin' else

Polka Dot Blue
Not your average little ingenue
Wearin' Polka Dot Blue
And servin' up her brand of country stew

Can't shake this spell I'm under
That's got me puttin' on these miss-matched shoes
And when I open my mouth
All the brilliance goes south
Seems my brain's taken off on a cruise

All my friends think I've lost it
Their spreadin' the word
"It might be straight jacket time"
'Cause they all knew me when
I was cool just like them
But now I'm crossin' the "crazy" line

Polka Dot Blue
She's not your average little ingenue
She's wearin' Polka Dot Blue
And servin' up her brand of country stew

Was doin' just fine
Shufflin' along my own crease in the road
Ignorin' the signs
Not havin' a clue
Just a free buckaroo

If this was just a fever
A couple of aspirin and I'd be o.k.
But it's not my head
It's my heart
And some tender upstart
That's got my life in this disarray

Polka Dot Blue
Not your average little ingenue
She's wearin' Polka Dot Blue
And servin' up her brand of country stew
Polka Dot Blue...........
Love that dress and all the rest
