Mellow Yellow

by Donovan

on Mellow Yellow (1967)

I'm just mad about Saffron.
A-Saffron's mad about me.
I'm a-just mad about Saffron.
She's just mad about me.

They call me mellow yellow.
(Quite rightly.) [2]
They call me mellow yellow.
(Quite rightly.)
They call me mellow yellow.

I'm just mad about Fontaine.
A-Fontaine's mad about me.
I'm'b a-just mad about a-Fontaine.
A-she's just mad about me.

They call me mellow yellow.
They call me mellow yellow.
(Quite rightly.)
They call me mellow yellow.

Born a-high forever to fly.
A-wind velocity nil.
Gonna high forever to fly.
If you want, your cup I will fill.

They call me mellow yellow.
(Quite rightly.)
They call me mellow yellow.
(Quite rightly.)
They call me mellow yellow.

(He's so mellow, he's so yellow.)

[Instrumental break featuring

Celebratory partying, with voices
Whooping it up as the brass
Section takes over the main riff.]

Electrical banana,
Is gonna be a sudden craze.
Electrical banana,
Is bound to be the very next phase.

They call it mellow yellow.
(Quite rightly.)
They call me mellow yellow.
(Quite rightly.)
They call me mellow yellow.

Ye-oh,
Saffron - yeah!
I'm just mad about her.
I'm'b a-just a-mad about a-Saffron.
She's just mad about me.

They call me mellow yellow.
(Quite rightly.)
They call me mellow yellow.
(Quite rightly.)
They call me mellow yellow.

Oh, so mellow.
[Fade.]
Oh so...
