VERSE:
Sometimes in life 
you just gotta choose;
it happens with dresses,
it happens with shoes. Ooh.
But there's one small thing
that I'll never lose,
and that's my affection
for something so true. Oooh.

CHORUS:
I'll never have 
the Soylent green blues;
there'll always be plenty 
for me and for you.
So when you're out shopping
for just the right food,
just reach for the green,
not for the blue,
Soylent Green's the one for you.

(REPEAT WITH SPOKEN PATTER:)
Hmmm. Soylent Green, see?
Oh, yeah, that's the one
that blue -- wait, no wait.
It was green -- Soylent Green.
Yeah, that's right.

And the shoes, something about shoes.
Hmmm, shoes, blues, blues, shoes.
Soylent Green. Oh wait. True.
There's something true about
Soylent Green and blue shoes, too.

I wonder. Perhaps it's, uh -- hmmm -
oh, yeah. Soylent Green, see,
and I got the blues, too.
Cause my shoes are Soylent Green, too.
Woah, no.

It is kinda of a nice song, though.
Makes me wanna sing. Er, but then again.

Hmmmm.
Oh, no. Not the shoes again.
Dang. That's right.
She just bought another pair last week.
Argh.

Hmmm. I gotta do something about that.
Yeah, that's her profession, all right, 
buying shoes. Hmmmm.

Let's see; maybe something can be done about that.
Yeah, that's right, cause I keep paying for those shoes, man.
I'm blue, I'll tell ya, What am I gonna do?

Yeah, shopping; that's right; key word, there.
No, reach for the green.
That's my green you're reaching for there.

I got the blues.

Say, Doll face, what's for dinner?
