lyrics

Bougainvillea Waltz © 2002 Jay Spears Music ASCAP

The bougainvilleas are amazing this year
With the colors all so full, so ripe, so juicy
Like you could reach over and take a huge bite out of ‘em
And the nectar would run streaming down your chest
Magenta, purple, even a yellow-orange
And my favorite, the deep deep deep red.

The bougainvilleas are going crazy this year
With the colors all so full, so ripe, so juicy
Like watermelon when we were kids
Take it outside, take off your shirt, take a huge bite out of it
And the nectar would run streaming down your chest
Mmmm.

Even the oleanders are getting into the act.
But we all know oleanders are poisonous
With their creamy white, creamy pink, dark pink
And my favorite, the deep deep deep red.

The bougainvilleas are insane this year
Like you; so ripe, so juicy
I wanna reach over there and take a huge bite out of you
And the nectar would run streaming down my chest
Magenta, purple, even a yellow-orange
And my favorite, the deep deep deep red.

Yes, my favorite is the deep deep deep red.
