"flowers in your hair"
"gentle people there"
It rhymes. Not that it really matters . . . . still a dumb song. But it gets a pass because it does have historical value. There were plenty of nice hippies, and plenty of not-nice hippies.
It was a nice contrast to Nancy Sinatra, and that ilk, I thought.
But then, I like this:
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
Born high forever to fly
If you want your cup I will 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
