Colorful (from "Golden Boy")

Colorful - Sammy Davis Jr

Then I grew up a bit

Found out a thing or two

Sometimes I'd get unhappy

In short

I was blue

As far as politics goes I never turned red

I'm smarter than you might think

And every time I've been told

Boy you're good as gold

Say I'm just tickled pink

I've tried all such of shades

And put them to the test

But I look at myself

And black

Suits me best

Black is chic

Always correct for the house or yard

Black is neat

It goes with everything and doesn't try too hard

Black is basic you'll agree

As the Duchess of Windsor would say

Black is me

Well I've been yellow at times I'm sorry to say

Yes I've been afraid to fight

So when I'm old and grey

And I'm heading for my last rest

Guess I'll still have to say

That black not kelly green

But black not tangerine

But black as B L A C K dig black

Suits me ha ha then

And that it
