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
