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!
