Lyrics

Chartreuse

Chartreuse

You got the color that turns me loose

Chartreuse

That color just turns me loose

Better than Magenta

Better than Fuse

You got a shade that gets rid of the blues

Chartreuse

Don't you know I like big Caboose

Chartreuse

You know I like that big Caboose

Its sure sweet

Lights my fuse

Its sure sweet

Lights my fuse

[Guitar Solo]

Chartreuse

That color just turns me loose

Chartreuse

You got the color that turns me loose

You got the blues baby

I got the juice

You got the blues baby

I got the juice

[Outro Solo]
