Lalena Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
When the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot in life, Lalena
Can't blame ya
Lalena
[Verse 2]
Arty-tart, la-de-da
Can your heart get much sadder?
That's your lot in life, Lalena
Can't blame ya
Lalena
[Verse 3]
Run your hand through your hair
Paint your face with despair
That's your lot in life, Lalena
Can't blame ya
Oh, Lalena
[Verse 4]
Run your hand through your hair
Paint your face, paint your face with despair
That's your lot in life, Lalena
I can't blame ya
Oh, Lalena
[Organ Solo]
[Verse 5]
When the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot in life, Lalena
I can't blame ya
Lalena
[Verse 6]
Arty-tart, oh so la-de-da
Can your part ever get, ever get much sadder?
That's your lot in life, Lalena
I can't blame ya
Oh, Lalena
[Outro]
Oh, Lalena
No, no, no, Lalena
I can't blame ya, I can't blame ya, Lalena
Oh, Lalena
So la-de-da

Liner note by Deep Purple:
Donovan’s song how we thought Donovan might like to have heard it. The only double tracking on this cut is the guitar passage at the end. The slightly “jazzy” feel to the organ is a bow in the direction of Donovan’s Mellow Yellow days.
