Mr. Blue

Good morning, Mr. Blue, we've got our eyes on you.
C               Em                      C         Em
The evidence is clear, that you've been scheming.
C             Em        C           Em
You'd like to steal away and while away the day.
C             Em            C         Em
You'd like to spend an hour dreaming.

What will it take, to whip you into line?
C        D     C         D
A broken heart? A broken head?

It can be arranged. It can be arranged.

Step softly, Mr. Blue, we know what's best for you.
We know where your precious dreams will take you.
You've got a slot to fill, and fill that slot you will.
You'll learn to love it, or we'll break you.

What will it take, to whip you into line?
A broken heart? A broken head?
It can be arranged. It can be arranged.

Be careful, Mr. Blue, this phase you're going through
Can lead you nowhere else but to disaster.
Excuse us while we grin, you've worn our patience thin.
It's time we showed you who's your master.

What will it take, to whip you into line?
A broken heart? A broken head?
It can be arranged. It can be arranged.

Don't worry, Mr. Blue, we'll take good care of you.
Just think of it as sense and not surrender.
But never think again, that you can think again,
Or you'll get something you'll remember.

What will it take, to whip you into line?
A broken heart? A broken head?
It can be arranged. It can be arranged.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1967)
