Emerald City Sequence Lyrics

(quincy jones/charlie smalls)

Emerald city green:

I want to be seen green
Wouldnt be caught dead, red
Cause if you are seen green
It means you got mean bread

Youve got to be seen green
To show that you're stuffs layed
If you're not seen green
You better be wearing jade

Oh, youve got to be seen green
Don't tell them your cupboards bare
That you gave up one weeks feed
To pay for your colored hair
Oh, oh, oh

An announcement from the great powerful oz:

I thought it over and green is dead
Till I change my mind, the color is red

Emerald city red:

I wouldn't be seen green
Ooo! oo! oo! ah! ah!
I wouldn't be caught dead
And if Im caught at all
Then catch me in dead, red
Ooo!
Youve got to be dead red
Youve got to be real hot
So throw away those green gems
And wear rubies on your yacht

Youve got to be dead, red
Youve got to have flash and flair
And if you're not seen red
Then you shouldn't be seen nowhereDiana Ross - Emerald City Sequence - http://motolyrics.com/diana-ross/emerald-city-sequence-lyrics.html
Ah!

How quickly fashion goes down the drain.
Last week when you all was wearin pink
Already for me red was old.
The ultimate brick is gold.
That's the new color, children

Emerald city gold:

Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold

You got to be seen gold
Watch out for the new kind
You got to have old gold
Like some from a gold mine

You got to be wearin gold
The twenty four carat kind
And once youve shined it up
It should ought to make you blind, ah!

You got to be seen in gold
To show that you're super slick
It helps to pay tips and tolls
Its the ultimate yellow brick
Its the ultimate
Gold

Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Golden gold
Gold, gold, gold, gold
Gold!
