EMERALD CITY GREEN:
I want to be seen green
Wouldn´t be caught dead, red
´Cause if you are seen green
It means you got mean bread
You´ve got to be seen green
To show that you´re stuff´s layed
If you´re not seen green
You better be wearing jade
Oh, you´ve got to be seen green
Don´t tell them your cupboard´s bare
That you gave up one week´s feed
To pay for your colored hair
Oh, oh, oh
AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE GREAT POWERFUL OZ:
I thought it over and green is dead
´Till I change my mind, the color is red
EMERALD CITY RED:
I wouldn´t be seen green
Ooo! Oo! Oo! Ah! Ah!
I wouldn´t be caught dead
And if I´m caught at all
Then catch me in dead, red
Ooo!
You´ve got to be dead red
You´ve got to be real hot
So throw away those green gems
And wear rubies on your yacht
You´ve got to be dead, red
You´ve got to have flash and flair
And if you´re not seen red
Then you shouldn´t be seen nowhere
Ah!
How quickly fashion goes down the drain.
Last week when you all was wearin´ pink
Already for me red was old.
The ultimate brick is gold.
That´s the new color, children
EMERALD CITY GOLD:
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
You got to be seen gold
Watch out for the new kind
You got to have old gold
Like some from a gold mine
You got to be wearin´ gold
The twenty four carat kind
And once you´ve shined it up
It should ought to make you blind, ah!
You got to be seen in gold
To show that you´re super slick
It helps to pay tips and tolls
It´s the ultimate yellow brick
It´s the ultimate
Gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Gold, gold, gold, gold
Gold!
I want to be seen green
Wouldn´t be caught dead, red
´Cause if you are seen green
It means you got mean bread
You´ve got to be seen green
To show that you´re stuff´s layed
If you´re not seen green
You better be wearing jade
Oh, you´ve got to be seen green
Don´t tell them your cupboard´s bare
That you gave up one week´s feed
To pay for your colored hair
Oh, oh, oh
