Play Something Sweet |
| Well, I tried to run my game |
| She said «Man, that’s the same old thing I’ve heard before» |
| And I’m too tired to go for your show |
| (again and again) |
| And she started to explain |
| She said «Man, I ain’t sayin' |
| what you’re playin' just can’t make it But I can’t take it anymore» |
| Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow |
| Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello |
| Play something I can understand |
| Play me some Brickyard Blues |
| Play somethin' sweet and make it funky |
| Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey |
| Play something I can understand |
| Play me some Brickyard Blues |
| Well, I started to sweat |
| She said «Don't get upset, |
| 'cause you just might break a string and that won’t |
| do a thing for your show» |
| So I said to myself |
| I said, «Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?» |
| And I gotta have some more, don’t ya know |
| Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello |
| Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello |
| Play something I can understand |
| Play me some Brickyard Blues |
| Play somethin' sweet and make it funky |
| Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey |
| Play something I can understand |
| Play me some Brickyard Blues |
| It’s enough to make it light the dark |
| It’s enough to make a bite just a bark |
| It’s enough to make a body move around |
| It’s enough to make a rabbit hug a dog |
| Play somethin' sweet |
| Well, I tried to run my game |
| She said, «Man, that’s the same old thing I’ve heard before |
| And I’m too tired to go for your show» |
| (again and again) |
| And she started to explain |
| She said, «Man, I ain’t sayin' |
| what you’re playin' just can’t make it, but I just can’t take it any more» |
| Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello |
| Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello |
| Play something I can understand |
| Play me some Brickyard Blues |
| Play somethin' sweet and make it funky |
| Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey |
| Play something I can understand |
| Play me some Brickyard Blues |
| Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello |
| Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello |
| Play something I can understand |
| Play me some Brickyard Blues |
| Play somethin' sweet and make it funky |
| Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey |
| Play something I can understand |
| Play me some Brickyard Blues |
