The_Ballad_Of_The_Blue_Ox_Babes_Lyrics.gif

 

Now I'll be journalese and tell you

About the story of the Blue Ox Babes,

Three men and girl,

Approaching something final, no discouragement.

Somewhat confused by local trends via vaudevillian rock,

Oppressed by these,

Sprang forth a new dimension in rhythm and bop.

 

Yasmin sighing.

Steven living above his means but trying.

 

The story goes

The four experienced much nourishment,

Inner strength paid parcel to a lower form of high anxiety.

In as much as a year's worth of time spent crafting these trusty tunes,

Brought forth by four,

Summoned up a question of attitude.

 

This is the ballad of the Blue Ox Babes,

This is the ballad of the Blue Ox.

This is the ballad of the Blue Ox Babes,

This is the ballad of the Blue Ox.

 

Time rolled on and nothing but the future held anyone back,

And as sure as hell,

There was nothing that could hold any of us back.

And if not pulling punches means giving,

that's all any of them got,

We all had our trials and tribulations,

But now that's over and gone.

 

Yasmin sighing.

Steven living above his means but trying.

 

Now I've been journalese and told you

About the story of the Blue Ox Babes,

Three men and girl

Approaching something final, no discouragement.

 

This is the ballad of the Blue Ox Babes,

This is the ballad of the Blue Ox.

This is the ballad of the Blue Ox Babes,

This is the ballad of the Blue Ox.
