Blue Overalls Lyrics

I'm sitting here thinking, it's puzzling me
Why when you feel blue, you feel unhappy?
I'm wearing my favourite blue overalls
And overhead a blue sky is smiling at me
So blue doesn't really make me feel sad
Instead I am feeling, especially glad!
So blue doesn't really make me feel sad
Instead I am feeling, especially glad!
