Zaz had red hair
|
He didn't care
|
He always laughed loud
|
He wasn't proud
|
|
Just a real easy guy
|
Wouldn't tell a lie
|
But then one day
|
Zaz turned blue
|
|
Zaz turned blue
|
What were we supposed to do
|
Yeah, Zaz turned blue
|
What were we supposed to do
|
When Zaz turned blue
|
|
One night in the park
|
For a lark
|
Zaz let Steve Brown
|
Fool around
|
|
Steve squeezed his neck
|
Figure what the heck
|
But Zaz hit the ground
|
He was down
|
|
Oh, Zaz turned blue
|
What were we supposed to do
|
Yeah, Zaz turned blue
|
What were we supposed to do
|
When Zaz turned blue
|
|
After high school
|
Zaz was cool
|
He worked on cars
|
He went to bars
|
|
And then one day
|
He went away
|
He became a marine
|
At the age of eighteen
|
|
But he didn't want to fight
|
Didn't do it out of spite
|
And he didn't want to die
|
No he didn't want to die
|
And he seemed kind of strange
|
Could it be that he changed
|
On that night in the park
|
When he fainted in the dark
|
|
Zaz didn't die
|
Lucky guy
|
There were no parades
|
How the glory fades
|
|
Now he shoots lots of pool
|
And as a rule
|
Wears a silly grin
|
On his chin
|
It all started when
|
|
Zaz turned blue
|
What were we supposed to do
|
Yeah, when Zaz turned blue
|
What were we supposed to do
|
When Zaz turned blue
|
|
