POLKA DOT BLUE

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

What's got me in this kerfuffle
Like I've been drinkin' too much zinfandel
It's not a “what” it's a “who”
And I'm confessin' to you
This could be trouble, or somethin' else

Polka Dot Blue
Not You're average little ingenue
She's 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 mismatched shoes
And when I open my mouth
All my 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' that “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 Bl;ue
And servin' up her brand of country stew

Polka Dot Blue
Polka Dot Blue
Polka Dot Blue
Love that dress and all the rest
