Ration Blues - Original |
| 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 |
