The Lyrics
Yo, listen up, here's a story about a little guy who wants to be blue, word...
I'd like to be blue for a day (I'd like to be blue for a day)
I'd like to be blue for a day (I'd like to be blue for a day)
I'd like to be blue for a day
I'd like to find a way to change my hide
My hue is boring, that pink type of white
A change once in a while
I guarantee it, so just let me be it
I'd like to be blue for a day (I'd like to be blue for a day)
My melanin must turn a diff'rent shade
So that I'm not bored right out of my brain
And ev'ryone outside
Would be sent reeling cause I'm not concealing
I heard your "Why pick that colour, dude?"
Get why you are confused
'Twould be a look that would always hook their glances
And that's just the way I would have it
I'd like to be blue for a day (I'd like to be blue for a day)
There's no deep meaning or truth to be had
I'm not a hardcore Smurf or Na'vi fan
It's just a whim, okay?
Whatever shade you give unto me, dude
Will put smiles on my face
I'd like to be blue for a day (it's not a metaphor, it's just a dream, okay?)
I'd like to be blue for a day (not depressed, mate, I just want a change in my shade)
I'd like to be blue for a day
Like to be blue for a day
I'd like to be blue for a day (I'd like to be blue for a day)
I'd like to be blue for a day
I'd like to find a way to change my hide
My hue is boring, that pink type of white
A change once in a while
I guarantee it, so just let me be it
I'd like to be blue for a day (I'd like to be blue for a day)
My melanin must turn a diff'rent shade
So that I'm not bored right out of my brain
And ev'ryone outside
Would be sent reeling cause I'm not concealing
I heard your "Why pick that colour, dude?"
Get why you are confused
'Twould be a look that would always hook their glances
And that's just the way I would have it
I'd like to be blue for a day (I'd like to be blue for a day)
There's no deep meaning or truth to be had
I'm not a hardcore Smurf or Na'vi fan
It's just a whim, okay?
Whatever shade you give unto me, dude
Will put smiles on my face
I'd like to be blue for a day (it's not a metaphor, it's just a dream, okay?)
I'd like to be blue for a day (not depressed, mate, I just want a change in my shade)
I'd like to be blue for a day
Like to be blue for a day
I'm blue for you, boo boo boo boo boo

If you don't know the original song, it's from the opening credits of Freaky Friday's 1976 movie adaptation:

555 - and I get like ten ideas for this one just by looking at the title. How about you talk to Matthias about running a round of O.W.N. based on it?
