Blueberry Pie, he walks on by
And I don't know what to do
With that Blueberry Pie
But I'm gonna try
Oh, Blueberry Pie, sad and shy
Won't you come out of your shell?
Life is swell, so are you!
Please don't be so very blue

Come on blue! There is a party in your head
Be my friend and we will laugh 'til we turn red
Want to know why I picked you from the bunch?
You looked so sweet -- let's say I had a hunch
That you'd be silly, I'd be silly;
We'd be a pair!
Life is peachy, let's go bananas
No one will care!

Blueberry Pie, let's have fun
'cause when all is said and done
I love you, yes I do
'cause, Blueberry, you're true blue
Oh, Blueberry, you're so very berry blue
Oh, so very berry blue

I love a Blueberry. I hug a Blueberry
Oh, yes I do. You know I do
Irresistable you! Irrepresable you!
I love a Blueberry. I hug a Blueberry. I love a Blueberry
Don't you know it? I, I mean to show it
You know I mean to show it
Berry blue, berry, berry blue

Blueberry Pie, he's from the upper-crust;
Rolling in dough, he's half-baked and bound to bust!
So don't be flaky
Come on, now, take me to your bakery
We'll be jamming, ovens slamming
The whole world will see

Blueberry Me! Without you
There would be no berry pie
Tell me why you can't see
You are necessary
Blueberry Pie, let's have fun
'cause when all is said and done
I love you, yes I do
'cause, Blueberry, you're true blue!
Oh, Blueberry, you're so very berry blue!
Oh, so very berry blue
I love a Blueberry. I hug a Blueberry. I love a Blueberry
Oh, love a Blueberry. He's so necessary, to people!
I love a Blueberry. I hug a Blueberry. I love a Blueberry
Oh, he's so necessary. He's so necessary
Blueberry Pie!

Bette Midler

Bette Midler is a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, comedienne and actress. Named in honor of Bette Davis, Midler’s career began performing off-broadway until she developed the stage persona The Divine Miss M while singing at the world-famous Continental Baths gay bathhouse. A pre-fame Barry Manilow, the venue’s in-house piano player, produced her Grammy-nominated debut album which scored three US top 40 singles including the Grammy-nominated “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. Midler took home the Best New Artist Grammy that year, her first of three career wins.

Throughout the 1970s, Midler found further success with music, Broadway, television and film. The Rose, Midler’s 1979 acting debut, earned her both Oscar and Academy Award nominations, and its namesake song won her a Golden Globe and another Grammy – also giving Midler her first success overseas.

The early 1980s proved less successful for Midler with four under-performing singles and a box office flop with the film Jinxed. However, the second half of the decade would prove far more fruitful with a handful of very successful films including Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Ruthless People, Outrageous Fortune and Beaches, the latter featuring a chart-topping cover of “Wind Beneath My Wings” that won Midler her third Grammy and is considered one of the greatest songs in American film history.
