You're a freckled gal
You're a bug nosed kitty
As sweet as Charlotte Bruce
You've got big blue eyes
So I ask you why
Did you dye 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 nights were cold
When the girls were true and blue
Just think what ma would have said to pa
If he dyed his hair chartreuse
Chartreuse, chartreuse
Chartreuse, chartreuse
Though you think it's mighty cute
You went too far in the beauty booth
When you dyed your hair chartreuse
Now you know that I knew you
When your hair was black
And you lived on Chestnut Street
When you wore pig tails
And ginger ale was your most favorite treat
You're a big girl now
So you think it's cute
To be fast and fancy loose
But you went too far in the 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
Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma
That you didn't like black
You hated red, you hate blonde
Oh, what's the use?
You got mad and you dyed your hair...
Chartreuse
