From the recording This Ain't Nothing But The Blues
Lyrics
this ain't nothing but the blues
the place where we go to pay our dues
to the good sounds of old and the great times of new
and how the evening goes, well that's just up to you
This ain't nothing but the blues!
now you've come out tonight to have a good time
and all your troubles have just been consigned
to the great waste paper basket up in the sky
together we're gonna create the sublime
This ain't nothing but the blues!
i can see some of you have got to your feet
and I can blame you with this funky beat
look around and you'll see those smiles so sweet
and think to yourself "hey! this is how it always ought to be"
This ain't nothing but the blues!
if you get tired and your head begins to spin
don't worry that's the blues kicking in
you can always go to the bar and get yourself a drink
'cos it's cheaper than going to a shrink
This ain't nothing but the blues!
This ain't nothing but the blues!
This ain't nothing but the blues!
