Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just mad about Saffron
And Saffron's mad about me
I'ma just mad about Saffron
She's just mad about me
[Verse 2]
They call me Mellow Yellow
They call me Mellow Yellow
They call me Mellow Yellow
[Verse 3]
I'm just mad about fourteen
And fourteen's mad about me
I'ma just mad about fourteen
She's just mad about me
[Verse 4]
They call me Mellow Yellow
They call me Mellow Yellow
They call me Mellow Yellow
[Verse 5]
Born high forever to fly
A-wind-a velocity nil
Born high forever to fly
If you want, your cup I will fill
[Verse 6]
They call me Mellow Yellow
They call me Mellow Yellow
They call me Mellow Yellow
[Verse 7]
So Mellow Yellow
[Verse 8]
Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase
[Verse 9]
They call me Mellow Yellow
They call me Mellow Yellow
They call me Mellow Yellow
[Verse 10]
Saffron
Yeah
I'm just mad about her
I'm just mad about Saffron
She's just mad about me
[Verse 11]
They call me Mellow Yellow
They call me Mellow Yellow
They call me Mellow Yellow
