Orange Colored Sky

July 23, 2017 by ted

 

I was walking along
Mindin’ my business
When out of the orange colored sky

Flash – Bam – Ali-ca-zam

Wonderful you came by

I was hummin’ a tune
Drinkin’ in sunshine
When out of that orange colored view

Wham – Bam – Ali-ca-zam

I gotta look at you

One look and I yelled “timber”
Watch out for flying glass

‘Cause the ceiling fell in
And the bottom fell out
I went into a spin
And I started to shout,
“I’ve been hit, this is it, this is it.”

I was walking along
Mindin’ my business
When love came and hit me in the eye

Flash – Bam – Ali-ca-zam

Out of the orange colored sky

Well, one look and I yelled “timber”
Watch out for flying glass

‘Cause the ceiling fell in
And the bottom fell out
I went into a spin
And I started to shout,
“I’ve been hit, this is it, this is it.”

I was walkin’ along
Mindin’ my business
When love came and hit me in the eye

Flash – Bam – Ali-ca-zam

Out of that orange colored purple striped pretty green polka-dot sky

Flash – Bam – Ali-ca-zam
And goodbye

 

Written by Milton DeLugg and Willie Stein, my favorite version is sung my Nat King Cole.
