Lyrics
BLUE SHADES
Lyrics and music by Mary Cole Grimley. Arranged by Greg Garrett
I got my blue shades on.
I got my blue shades on.
Ev'-ry-thing is cool and blue.
Ev'-ry-thing is cool and blue.
I got my blue shades on, baby.
My whole world is cool and new.
The sun may be scorching all the grass dirt brown,
no air-conditioning, no ice, no fan but...
I got my blue shades on.
I got my blue shades on.
Ev'rything is cool and blue.
Ev'rything is cool and blue.
I got my blue shades on, baby.
My whole world is cool and new.
The dogs may be panting and the stream's gone dry,
no chance of shade beneath such a cloudless sky but...
I got my blue shades on.
I got my blue shades on.
Ev'rything is cool and blue.
Ev'rything is cool and blue.
I got my blue shades on, baby.
Instrumental
I got my blue shades on.
I got my blue shades on.
Ev'rything is cool and blue.
Ev'rything is cool and blue.
I got my blue shades on, baby.
My whole world is cool and new.
It's now icy winter, and the snow's waist-high; that unrelenting sun may blind my eyes but...
I got my blue shades on.
I got my blue shades on.
Ev'rything is cool and blue.
Ev'rything is cool and blue.
I got my blue shades on, baby.
Everything is cool and blue.
