The Little Blue Man

One morning, when I was out shopping

Though you'll find it hard to believe

A little blue man came out of the crowd

And timidly tugged at my sleeve

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man

"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits"

"I wuv you!" He loved me, said the little blue man

And scared me right out of my wits

I hurried back to my apartment

I rushed in and I closed the door

But there on the desk stood the little blue man

Who started to tell me once more:

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man

"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits"

"I wuv you!" He loved me, said the little blue man

And scared me right out of my wits

For weeks after that I was haunted

Though no one could see him but me

Right by my side was the little blue man

Wherever I happened to be

"I wuv you!"

One evening in wild desperation

I rushed to a rooftop in town

And over the side pushed the little blue man

Who sang to me all the way down:

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man

"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits"

"I wuv you!" He loved me, said the little blue man

And scared me right out of my wits

I whispered, "Thank goodness, that's over!"

I smiled as I hurried outside

But there on the street stood the little blue man

Who said with a tear in his eye:

"I don't wuv you anymore!"
