My mama made me a blue muumuu
Old fashioned as can be
It's only made of cotton with ruffles on the bottom
But oh how the boys follow me
Why do they whistle at my blue muumuu?
Why don't they leave me alone?
They all begin it the minute that I'm in it
Sometimes I wish I'd stayed at home
Blue as the ocean
Blue as the sky
How they wink their eye
How they make me cry
Blue little bluebird singing in the tree
Tell me do they all love me?
Oh how they tease me in my blue muumuu
Say I've a heart made of stone
All I want is quiet. I only cause a riot
Boys never leave me alone
Why do I love to wear my blue muumuu?
Why don't I stay by myself?
I'm just a kuumuu in a blue muumuu
'Fraid I'll be left on the shelf
Blue as the ocean
Blue as the sky
How they wink their eye
How they make me cry
Blue little bluebird singing in the tree
Tell me do they all love me?
