<br>

This plum is too ripe!<br>

- Sorry!<br>

Take away the golden moonbeam.<br>

Take away the tinsel sky.<br>

What at night seems oh so scenic<br>

May be cynic by and by.<br>

<br>

Take away the painted sunset.<br>

Take away the blue lagoon.<br>

What at night seems oh so scenic<br>

May be cynic much too soon.<br>

<br>

Take away the sense of drama.<br>

Take away the puppet play.<br>

What at night seems oh so scenic<br>

May be cynic by today.<br>

<br>

Take away the secret meetings.<br>

Take away the chance to fight.<br>

What at night seems oh so scenic<br>

May be cynic in the light.<br>

<br>

So take it away and paint it up right!<br>

So take it away and decorate it!<br>

So take it away; that sun is too bright!<br>

I say that it really is a pity.<br>

It used to be so pretty.<br>

<br>

Take away the golden moonbeam.<br>

Take away the tinsel sky.<br>

What at night seems oh so scenic<br>

May be cynic by and by.<br>

<br>

Take away the painted sunset.<br>

Take away the blue lagoon.<br>

What at night seems oh so scenic<br>

May be cynic much too soon.<br>

<br>

Take away the sense of drama.<br>

Take away the puppet play.<br>

What at night seems oh so scenic<br>

May be cynic by today.<br>

<br>

Take away the secret meetings.<br>

Take away the chance to fight.<br>

What at night seems oh so scenic<br>

May be cynic in the light.<br>

<br>

So take it away and paint it up right!<br>

So take it away and decorate it!<br>

So take it away; that sun is too bright!<br>

I say that it really is a pity.<br>

It used to be so pretty.<br>

<br>

By today,<br>

Much too soon.<br>

By and by.<br>

<br>

This plum is too ripe!<br>

Sorry!<br>
