GREENSTAMPS



(A) Am G / G Am E / Am G / G Am E Am



I found my love in a grocery shop,

Selling pickles and egg-plants and bottles of pop;

She asked me to try her asparagus tips,

And I fell for the smile on her ruby red lips.

Green stamps were all she gave,

Green stamps were all I took,

Green stamps were all I saved,

So I pasted them all in my green stamp book.



I'd go every day just to gaze at her face,

And in no time at all I had bought out the place.

Tho' ne'er did I e'er taste her ruby red lips,

I own four thousand cans of asparagus tips.



Green stamps . . .



Whenever I'm lonely or tired or blue,

I go to my bookshelf and here's what I do:

I reach for that book and then with loving care,

I count every green stamp that's pasted in there.



Green stamps . . .



Sung to the tune of Green-sleeves
