On the day that Betty Blue turned green
Superman came to my party
My mother rang me in the evening
As she always did when I held a party
But we could not hear each other
As the music was too loud
Laurie Anderson was on the television
Singing O Superman
Which moved the superhero to tears
Betty was wearing a beautiful red dress
And was reading a book about Edward Hopper
Which she always did when she turned green
And attended one of my second city parties
