Olive - Ken Nordine

Olive, poor thing

Sits and thinks

That it’s drab

Sure does

Sits and sits and sits and sits

And thinks

About it’s olive drab drab

Doesn’t know that its about to be named

Color of the year

By those with the nose for the new

By the passionate few

Yeah

Olive is definitely in

Everything that can possibly mean anything

Anywhere

At least for a year

Has got to be olive

Did you hear that olive?

Did ya?

Know what it means

Oh, olive

There’ll be olive cars

And olive trucks

And olive chickens

And olive ducks

And olive socks

And olive garters

And olive breaks

And olive starters

Olive sorry

Olive please

Olive whatnots

And olive trees

Olive trees?

What a quaint notion

Olive trees
