But I like you because you’re true blue.
 
I had a blue dream about a blue star. 
In it I drove there in my blue car. 
And when I got there, I met a blue dog 
with a blue tongue, we had some real fun. 
We bounced a blue ball. It broke a blue glass. 
We banged on blue drums and called it bluegrass. 
Guess the thing I'm trying to tell you, 
is that it’s best kid if you're true blue.
 
Once I had gangrene, I got it real bad. 
And so the Doc came with his black bag. 
I said "You know doc, I don't feel swell. 
If you had a blue bag I think I'd feel well."
So he came right back with a blue sack. 
He said, "Will this do?" I said, "Why not? Yeah." 
That’s how I am here today to tell you,
that it’s best man to be true blue.
 
Out on the blue sea I sailed a blue ship.
I had a first mate, always had blue lips. 
His name was Bluebeard. 
He had a weird twitch. 
We flew a blue flag on a big stick. 
And we ate bluegill and we ate blue chips. 
Oh, I felt real blue eating that blue fish. 
Because there ain't much that I won't do,
unless it keeps me from being true blue.
 
Once in a blue moon there’s a blue sky. 
I wear my blue jeans and fly my blue kite. 
Hangs like a bluebird until the wind dies 
and then the tears pour out of my blue eyes. 
If it’s your birthday, we'll bake a blue cake 
and then we'll eat it off these blue plates. 
‘cause kid I don't know much about you,
but I like you because you're true blue. 
Yeah, I don't know much about you, 
but I like you ‘cause you're true blue.
