Lyrics (You Dyed Your Hair) Chartreuse - Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five

(You Dyed Your Hair) Chartreuse

You’re a freckled gal
You’re a pug-nosed cutie
Sweet as Charlotte russe
You’ve got big blue eyes
So I ask you why
Have you dyed your hair chartreuse?
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it’s mighty cute
Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma
That you dyed your hair chartreuse
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it’s mighty cute
Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma
That you dyed your hair chartreuse
In the days of old
When the knights were bolder
And the girls were truer blue
Just think what paw
Would have said to maw
Had she dyed her hair chartreuse
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it’s mighty cute
You went too far in that beauty booth
When you dyed your hair chartreuse
Now you know I know
That your hair was black when we lived on Chestnut Street
When you wore pigtails
And ginger ale was your most favorite treat
You’re a big girl now
So you think it’s cuter being fast and fancy-loose
But you went too far in that beauty booth
When you dyed your hair chartreuse
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it’s mighty cute
Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma
That you dyed your hair chartreuse
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it’s mighty cute
But just wait 'til I write and tell your ma
You didn’t like black, you didn’t like red
You hated blondes, well, it’s no use
You got mad and dyed your hair
Chartreuse
