Lyrics
3 Shades of Mimosa Music and Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 2001
Sunday?s are for dreamin?
Takin? life slow.
No worryin? ?bout tomorrow,
For that day will surely know.
I?ve been lookin? forward to lazy,
And some time with nowhere to go.
How?s about we take in a movie,
And get a bite at Moonshadows.
Chorus:
Three Shades of Mimosa
That?s whre I wanna be.
I?ll be, sippin? on some champange,
While I wile an hour or three.
Squeeze me up some OJ
And pour me down a brew,
I?ll be three shades of mimosa
Before I?m through.
Verse:
Set the clock for Tuesday
And tuck the covers over my head.
I?ve got a date with old Mr. Dreamland,
You can bet I?ll find him in bed.
Pull the lawn chairs out of the closet,
We can read our books in the sun.
Take a walk, through the garden of angels,
And have a day of nothin? but fun.
