Lyrics

Lyrics by Ron Moretti. Vocals by Dan Simpson

THEY ASK ME WHY I ALWAYS SAY WEAR WHITE?
IT’S THE ONLY COLOR THAT RHYMES WITH BIKE AND NIGHT.
THE COLOR OF SURRENDER WHEN YOU WANT TO GIVE IT UP
AND A COLOR THAT A BRIDE WEARS WHEN SHE WON’T.

IT’S THE KNIGHT THAT SAVES A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
DON’T FORGET BJORK’S NIGHTMARE OF A DRESS
IT’S WORN BY MISTER CLEAN, CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST,
POLAR BEARS, AND THE LONE RANGER’S HORSE.

WHITE SHARKS, WHITE LIES, AND MOBY DICK, THE WHALE
AND ELEPHANTS IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A SALE.
PEGASUS, A HORSE THAT THE GREEK’S CLAIMED COULD FLY
AND WHITE LIGHTNIN’ THAT MAKES GROWN MEN WANT TO TRY.

SO, WHITE'S A COMBINATION OF ALL THE COLORS,
WEAR IT AND YOUR WEARING ALL THE OTHERS.
THE REASON WHY I SAY WEAR WHITE, AS IF IT REALLY MATTERS,
IS A TIP OF THE HAT TO THE STONES AND MICK JAGGER.
