The lyrics to Donovan's song were changed once his then girlfriend heard them.
Originally, when penned, they were:

Green is the colour of my true love's teeth
In the mornin', when we rise
In the mornin', when we rise
That's the time, that's the time
I love the best

Donovan was named after a mobile kebab stall in Queen Margaret Drive, Glasgow, not far from his birthplace in Maryhill. His parent met in the queue for the "Donner Van" after a night out in nearby Clatty Pats.
