Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Judy in disguise, well that's what you are
Lemonade pies with your brand new car
So, cantaloupe eyes come to me tonight
Judy in disguise, with glasses
Keep a-wearing your bracelets and your new rara's
And cross your heart, yeah, with your livin' bra
Chimney Sweep Sparrow with guise
Come to me tonight, come to me tonight
Taking everything in sight
Except for the strings on my kite
Judy in disguise, hey that's what you are
A lemonade pies, with your brand new car
So, cantaloupe eyes come to me tonight
Judy in disguise, with glasses
Come to me tonight, come to me tonight
Taking everything in sight, except for the strings on my kite
(Oh, uh oh, uh)
Judy in disguise, what you aiming for?
A circus of a-horror, yeah-yeah, well that's what you are
You made me a life of ashes
I guess I'll just take your glasses

The song "Judy in Disguise" is a playful and whimsical tune with clever lyrics that use wordplay and innuendos with various meanings. The song seems to be about a woman named Judy who wears glasses and has recently acquired a new car. The lyrics mention "lemonade pies" and "cantaloupe eyes," which are both fruits, but also references to Judy's beauty. The lyrics also mention wearing "bracelets" and a "new rara," which are fashion items, and "crossing your heart with your living bra," which is a playful reference to Judy's undergarment.
The chorus goes "Come to me tonight, come to me tonight, taking everything in sight, except for the strings on my kite." The meaning of this line is unclear, but it seems to suggest that the singer wants Judy to come to him and enjoy the pleasures of life with him. He may want her to leave behind everything else and just be with him.
The line "Chimney Sweep Sparrow with guise" is also interesting. It seems to be a nonsensical phrase, but it could be interpreted to mean that Judy is dressed up in a costume, pretending to be someone she's not.
