Zaz had red hair, he didn't care

He always laughed loud, he wasn't proud

Just a real easy guy who wouldn't tell a lie

But then one day Zaz turned blue



Zaz turned blue, what were we supposed to do

Zaz turned blue, what were we supposed to do

When Zaz turned blue



One night in the park for a lark

Zaz let Steve Brown fool around

Steve squeezed his neck, figured what the heck

But Zaz hit the ground, he was downed



Zaz turned blue, what were we supposed to do

Zaz turned blue, what were we supposed to do

When Zaz turned blue



After high school Zaz seemed cool

He worked on cars, went to bars

But then one day he went away

And became a Marine at the age of eighteen

But he didn't want to fight

Didn't do it out of spite

And he didn't want to die

No, he didn't want to die

And he seemed kind of strange

Could it be that he changed

On that night in the park

When he fainted in the dark



Zaz didn't die, lucky guy

There were no parades, how the glory fades

Now he shoots lots of pool and as a rule

He wears a silly grin on his chin

It all started when

Zaz turned blue, what were we supposed to do

Zaz turned blue, what were we supposed to do

When Zaz turned blue
