The Soft Boys - Vegetable Man lyrics

In yellow shoes I get the blues So I walk the street In plastic feet In my blue velvet trousers Make me feel pink There's a kind of stink About blue velvet trousers In my paisley shirt I look a jerk And my turqoise waistcoat Is quite out of sight But oh woe, my haircut looks so bad Vegetable man, where are you? So I change my gear And I buy my jeans Then I cover them up With the latest cut My [?] socks with water and epoxy It don't take long to buy nylon socks I watch my watch with a plain face and the date In a whole hole It's what I wear, it's what you see It must be me It's what I am Vegetable man Ah ha ha ha ha ha hha Ah ha ha ha ha ha hha Oh, I've been looking all over the place For a place for me But it ain't anywhere It just ain't anywhere He's the kind of fella You just got to see if you can Vegetable man Vegetable man Vegetable man Vegetable man Vegetable man He's the kind of fella You just got to see if you can Vegetable man
