Ration Blues |
Baby, baby, baby |
What’s wrong with Uncle Sam? |
He’s cut down on my sugar |
Now he’s messin' with my ham |
I got the ration blues |
Blue as I can be |
Oh, me, I’ve got those ration blues |
I got to live on forty ounces |
Of any kind of meat |
Those forty little ounces |
Gotta last me all the week |
I got to cut down on my jelly |
It takes sugar to make it sweet |
I’m gonna steal all your jelly, baby |
And rob you of your meat |
I got the ration blues |
Blue as I can be |
Oh, me, I’ve got those ration blues |
I like to wake up in the morning |
With my jelly by my side |
Since rationing started, baby |
You just take your stuff and hide |
They reduced my meat and sugar |
And rubber’s disappearing fast |
You can’t ride no more with poppa |
'Cause Uncle Sam wants my gas |
I got the ration blues |
Blue as I can be |
Oh, me, I’ve got those ration blues |
