THE BLUE PARSLEY HIM (sic)
Tune: "Aura Lee" George Poulton, 1855 
Words: Bob Linsley, copyright 2003

Eight guys singing had no name,
Causing so much grief.
Here's the tale of how we chose
A Technicolor leaf.
Blue Parsley Boys, Blue Parsley Boys,
A strange name, it is true.
We are often asked, "Dear boys,
Why is your parsley blue?"

We were singing much too loud,
We didn't know the tune.
Our leader said, "Now cut that out!
The tune you'll surely ruin.
Too loud by far!  Reg is the star;
Don't blow him away.
You're just garnish, PARSLEY BOYS;
Reg's the real entree."

On another song, the leads
Held the last note through.
We ritarded at the end, 
And Mark and Bob turned BLUE.
Blue Parsley Boys, Blue Parsley Boys,
A strange name, it is true.
That is how it came about.
We would not lie to you.
