(You Dyed Your Hair) Chartreuse - Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five

You’re a freckled gal

You’re a pug-nosed cutie

Sweet as Charlotte russe

You’ve got big blue eyes

So I ask you why

Have you dyed your hair chartreuse?

Chartreuse (chartreuse)

Chartreuse (chartreuse)

Though you think it’s mighty cute

Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma

That you dyed your hair chartreuse

Chartreuse (chartreuse)

Chartreuse (chartreuse)

Though you think it’s mighty cute

Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma

That you dyed your hair chartreuse

In the days of old

When the knights were bolder

And the girls were truer blue

Just think what paw

Would have said to maw

Had she dyed her hair chartreuse

Chartreuse (chartreuse)

Chartreuse (chartreuse)

Though you think it’s mighty cute

You went too far in that beauty booth

When you dyed your hair chartreuse

Now you know I know

That your hair was black when we lived on Chestnut Street

When you wore pigtails

And ginger ale was your most favorite treat

You’re a big girl now

So you think it’s cuter being fast and fancy-loose

But you went too far in that beauty booth

When you dyed your hair chartreuse

Chartreuse (chartreuse)

Chartreuse (chartreuse)

Though you think it’s mighty cute

Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma

That you dyed your hair chartreuse

Chartreuse (chartreuse)

Chartreuse (chartreuse)

Though you think it’s mighty cute

But just wait 'til I write and tell your ma

You didn’t like black, you didn’t like red

You hated blondes, well, it’s no use

You got mad and dyed your hair

Chartreuse
