Classic 60's Tuesday, 10 06 29 DressUrDolly2

Mellow Yellow ... Good grief, I haven't heard Donovan's song in ever so long! What great memories for me! This was 1966 and I was all of 13.


I'm sure than my sweet Pattie from DressUrDolly2 didn't mean to get this going, but one really should be warned that this is what happens with me and my wandering mind.


And, if you have time, stay tuned following the Treasury below for a gentle trip back to the late 1960's and the fantastic song from that ever gentle Scot, Donovan Leitch.

Right below the YouTube video, you'll find the lyrics so you can sing along. And, by the way, having that electrical banana is completely optional.




I'm just mad about Saffron
Saffron's mad about me
I'm just mad about Saffron
She's just mad about me

{Refrain}
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

I'm just mad about Fourteen
Fourteen's mad about me
I'm just mad about Fourteen
She's just mad about me

{Refrain}

Born high forever to fly
Wind velocity nil
Wanna high forever to fly
If you want your cup our fill

{Refrain}

(So mellow, he's so yellow)

Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase

They call it mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

Saffron -- yeah
I'm just mad about her
I'm just mad about Saffron
She's just mad about me

{Refrain}

(Oh so yellow, oh so mellow)
