Dem Blues |
Hello |
We are about to begin a little excursion if you will |
Down into the depths |
Plunging downward, down |
Into what appears to be a bottomless pit |
So now as we go, and going we might |
Inviting ourselves to see some sights |
Good luck |
Down, down we fall |
What will become of it all |
And falling we fall |
And fall, fall, fall |
Looking cute like a storybook for you to look at |
So now here we are and are here we is |
Walking like cows and mammals of showbiz |
The lifestyles of the bizarre and neurotic |
Look, donuts and crackers |
And paper cups to drink juice out of |
This is de life |
Yeah, but what about the strife |
The pain and sufferage and all that ruffage |
You mean them blues |
You know what I’m talking about |
Well I’ve had dem blues since I don’t know when |
Looks like I’ve got dem blues again |
Dem blues, dem blues |
Dem blues, dem blues |
I really don’t know what I’m after |
You’re stepping on the crackers |
I’m really feeling kind of loose |
Would you like some juice |
Dem blues will make me sad |
Dem blues will make me mad |
But dem blues, dem blues is all I have ever really had |
That’s sad |
You know fame means nothing to me |
Fortune even less |
You ain’t no donut |
You know I only wanted to be a lover |
Instead of a pest |
What was that test you failed |
And when my eyes turn inward knowing |
I find myself beginning to |
Sing dem blues, dem blues |
Dem blues, dem blues |
Dem damn blues |
You’ve made crumbs of a lot of crackers |
Hey what’s that |
Looks like some kind of squiggly thing |
Why it’s the most fascinating thing to be just floating around |
Well don’t get carried away |
