Lyrics
Verse
Frayed bow tie and a sample case
On the dusty square at the morning place
His last green volume, the cover worn
He hawks the hills where the sun was born
Chorus
Doo-wop, buy a world that's gone
Doo-wop, till the fog rolls on
A page of green and a sea of blue
One thin dime for a sky that's true
Verse
The girl with the button on her sleeve
Said, Mister, I got something to give
She traded the tin for the painted shore
Then skittered off through the market door
Chorus
Doo-wop, buy a world that's gone
Doo-wop, till the fog rolls on
A page of green and a sea of blue
One thin dime for a sky that's true
Bridge
The sun burnt through the morning gray
He saw the daisy she left in the page
Small and pressed, the note still read
The world still fits in a flower bed
Chorus
Doo-wop, buy a world that's gone
Doo-wop, till the fog rolls on
A page of green and a sea of blue
One thin dime for a sky that's true
