Lyrics
Dance My Blues Away
©2009 Jimmi Accardi/M.I. Foard
VERSE
Ain't gonna sit around having the blues,
Gonna get out my dancing shoes,
CHORUS
Gonna shake and shuffle, shimmy till the break of day,
Gonna keep on dancing till I dance my blues away.
Gonna put on my shoes, get out on the floor,
Dance until I can't dance any more.
Gonna shake and shuffle, shimmy till the break of day,
Gonna keep on dancing till I dance my blues away.
Hard times came, now they're gone,
Goin' downtown with my new suit on.
Gonna shake and shuffle, shimmy till the break of day,
Gonna keep on dancing till I dance my blues away.
When the food is gone and the money's spent
And I'm wondering how I'm gonna pay the rent,
Gonna shake and shuffle, shimmy till the break of day,
Gonna keep on dancing till I dance my blues away.
When the landlord's knockin' on my door
Sayin' "Son, you don't live here no more,"
Gonna shake and shuffle, shimmy till the break of day,
Gonna keep on dancing till I dance my blues away.
