Lyrics Blossom's Blues - Blossom Dearie

Blossom's Blues

my name is Blossom
i was raised in a lion’s den
my name is Blossom
i was raised in a lion’s den
my nightly occupation?
stealing other women’s men
i’m an evil, evil woman
but i want to do a man some good
i’m an evil, evil woman
but i want to do a man some good
i’m Gina Lollobrigida
i ain’t Red Riding Hood
if you don’t like my peaches, baby,
why do you shake my tree?
if you don’t like my peaches, baby,
why do you shake my tree?
get out of my orchard, baby
let my peach tree be
some men like me 'cause i’m happy
some 'cause i’m snappy
some call me «honey»
and some think i’ve got money
but Ray Brown* told me
i was built for speed
now, if you put them all together,
makes me everything a good man needs
Ray Brown -- famous jazz bass player
