Black Patch - The 5th Dimension

Invitations to my party, send Jones an inviting card

He got his mean streak from the gutter, got his kindness from God

Now tugboats paint the river, carry coal to the city in white dock liners

Happiness on the uptown side at my party in the morning tide

Oo, la, la, la, black patch

Oo, la, la, la, black patch

Oo, la, la, la, black patch

In black patch, in black patch

Clothespins on wash ropes, window to window tie

Socks and bells and nightgowns, tassels in the morning, tassels in the morning

sky

People are you ready (ready ready)

Woman child on the side street, flashing in black patch

Lipstick on her reefer, waiting for a match
