Vegetable Man - The Jesus & Mary Chain

In yellow shoes I get the blues

Though I walk the street in my plastic feet,

With blue velvet trousers makes me feel pink,

There’s a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers,

In my paisley shirt, I look a jerk,

And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight,

But oh, oh, my haircut looks so bad!

Vegetable man, where are you?

So I changed my gear and I found my knees,

And I cover them up with the latest cuts,

And my pants and my socks I bought in a box,

It don’t take long to buy nylon socks,

The watch, black watch, my watch with a black face,

And the date in a little hole,

And all the lot is what I’ve got,

It’s what I wear, it’s what you see,

It must be me, it’s what I am…

Vegetable man, where are you?

Ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha.

Ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha.

Oh I’ve been looking all over the place for a place for me,

But it ain’t anywhere,

It just ain’t anywhere.

Vegetable man (vegetable man),

Vegetable man (vegetable man),

Vegetable man (vegetable man),

Vegetable man (vegetable man),

He’s the kind of guy that you just gotta see if you can,

Vegetable man…
