Blossom Dearie — Blossom's Blues lyrics

Lyrics

My name is Blossom, I was raised in a lion’s den.
My name is Blossom, I was raised in a lion’s den.
My nightly occupation is stealing other women’s men
I’m an evil evil woman, but I want to do a man some good.
I’m an evil evil woman, but I want to do a man some good.
I’m Gina Lolabrigida, I ain’t Red Riding Hood.
If you don’t like my peaches, baby, why do you shake my tree?
If you don’t like my peaches baby, why do you shake my tree?
Get out of my orchard baby, let my peach tree be.
Now don’t you ooh scoodleyadoo scoodlyadee
And I won’t won’t oodlya oodlya do do do do If you don’t ooh scoodleyadoo scoodlyadee
Then I won’t oodlya oodlya do do do d So don’t you ooh scoodleyadoo scoodlyadee
And I won’t oodlya oodlya do do do do Some men like me 'cause I’m happy.
Some think I’m snappy.
Some call me honey,
And some think I’ve got money
But Ray Brown told me I was built for speed.
You put 'em all together: everything a good man needs.
You put 'em all together: everything a good man needs.
