Brown Songtext
von Ken Nordine

Among purists, and you know how many purists there are
Brown was having some difficulty
Some of the purists wanted brown to be more

Others wanted brown to be more

Still others wanted brown to be
To be basically brown


Yeah, a lesser color might have fallen apart
But brown met the problem beautifully
By becoming just about as basic
Just about as subtle
As you can just about get

That′s why you hear so many people saying
"My, that's a subtle brown"

That′s the way it's been ever since

Even with a light tan
Or sweet dark chocolate
Or deep brown eyes
Next time you see brown
Any shade
Subtle basic brown
