Emerald City Sequence — текст песни (Diana Ross)

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!
