[Originally by the Grateful Dead]  
  
As I was walkin down rubadub square  
Not a chill to the weather but a nip to the air  
From another direction she was caught in my eye  
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try  
..might as well try  
  
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes  
And I knew without asking she was into the blues  
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls  
I knew right away she was not like other girls  
  
Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong  
As everything works out the way it does in this song  
'Cause once in a while you get shown in the light  
In the strangest of places if you look at it right  
  
[rap] It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above  
Because the women took the lovin' over me  
And just to gain her trust, I bought a microbus  
Because I sold off my personal property  
A tie-dyed dress , she was a psychedelic mess  
We toured to the north, south, east and west  
We sold some mushroom tea,  
We sold some ecstasy,  
We sold nitrus, opium, acid, heroin and PCP  
Now I hear the police coming after me  
Yes, now I hear the police coming after me  
The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair,  
She's got the police coming after me  
  
Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves  
All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues  
And there ain't nothin wrong with the love that's in her eyes  
I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by.  
let her pass by.  
  
Oh just to let her pass by.
