Song Description

Tongue in cheek song about the blues

Lyrics

CAN'T SING THE BLUES


1st Verse

I'VE BEEN TERRIFIED OF DYING, SICK TO DEATH OF TRYING
ALL ALONE CRYING NOT KNOWIN' WHAT TO DO
I'VE BEEN DOWN ON MY LUCK, SCROUNGIN' FOR A BUCK
AND I'VE HAD MY BABY LEAVE ME A TIME OR TWO

Chorus

BUT OOH I JUST CAN'T SING THE BLUES
WHEN THIS OL' WORLD GETS ME DOWN
I CAN THINK OF A THOUSAND THINGS THAT I CAN DO
BUT THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT I JUST CAN'T SING THE BLUES

Instrumental

2nd Verse

LIKE A BUTTERFLY IN A COCOON
THE BEAT OF MY HEART IN AN EMPTY ROOM
A CANDLE IN THE NIGHT, OR A SILVERY MOON
I'LL BE SHINING BRIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOOM

Chorus ..

Breakdown

BUT OOH THAT RHYTHM REALLY MOVES ME
AND THAT MELODY RINGS CLEAR AND TRUE
AND THAT BEAT MOVES MY BODY
FROM MY HEAD DOWN TO MY SHOES
BUT THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
I JUST CAN'T SING THE BLUES
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT I JUST CAN'T SING THE BLUES
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT I JUST CAN'T SING THE BLUES
