Intro

Yah yah yah, yah yah yah, yah yah yah (repeat)

Meet Mr. Blue, elegant Jew of New York City

 Ex-real estate man, sits on the can, always looks pretty

 And Miss Never-Say-Please, pink and white knees, favorite kitty

 Movie star queen fell off the screen, oh, 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
