(See Note 1)
GIn yellow shoes I get the blues
Though I walk the street with my plastic feet
G#With blue velvet trousers make me feel pink
There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
AIn my paisley shirt I look a jerk
And my turquoise waistcoat is quite outta sight
BbBut oh, oh, my haircut looks so fair
BVegetable Man, how are you'
GSo I've change my gear and I find my knees
And I cover them up with the latest cut
G#And my pants and socks, a vault in a box
It don't take long for my dyed old socks (in the live version, Syd says "Nylon socks")
AThe watch, black watch, my watch with a black face
And a date in a little hole
BbAnd all the lot, it's what I got, it's what I wear
It's what you see, it must be me, it's what I am!
BVegetable Man
