The Day I Got Rid of the Blues - Oscar Benton

Let me tell you all a little story About how life just doesn't always go the way you want it to It goes a little something like this Well I got a man He ain't got a job Well that man He's great big slob He sits on the couch Just drinking a beer Well that man Better get on out of here I got the blues The blues about the blues blues Well I got a boss He's a real reptile He's so low He'd steal your last smile He takes you to work Then hits on the girls He's more nuts Than 50 squirrels I got the blues The blues about the blues blues Whoah yeah Well I got a friend His wife's so fat He's got it so bad His kid's such a brat He plays his guitar On busted up strings 'Cause his woman She wants diamond rings I got the blues The blues about the blues blues Take it away, Robbie Oh I got the blues You know I got them blues I got the blues Yeah, I got them blues I got the blues The blues about the blues blues Ohhh Aww, quit your bitching Hahaha

This old bar stool's feelin' higher 'Cause I've started sinkin' lower The minute that she waltzed right through that door Not long ago I held her, like a fool I went and left her Now she's with somebody new out on that floor And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues And she's showin' me how much I had to lose With her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you She's got the rhythm, and I got the blues Yee-haw Well, that music's gettin' louder As my heart keeps beatin' faster She spells out regret in perfect time Well, I thought I wanted freedom but that ball and chain, I need 'em But when you choose, sometimes you lose the prize 'Cause she's got the rhythm and I got the blues And she's showin' me how much I had to lose With her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you She's got the rhythm, and I got the blues Yeah, with her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you She's got the rhythm, and I got the blues

Taking stock of what I have and what I haven't What do I find? The things I've got will keep me satisfied Checking up on what I have and what I haven't What do I find? A healthy balance on the credit side Got no diamond, got no pearl Still I think I'm a lucky girl I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night Got no mansion, got no yacht Still I'm happy with what I've got I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night Sunshine gives me a lovely day Moonlight gives me the Milky Way Got no cheque books, got no banks Still I'd like to express my thanks I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening I'm All right Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Sunshine gives me a lovely day Moonlight gives me the Milky Way Got no cheque books, got no banks Still I'd like to express my thanks I've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night And with the sun in the morning Moon in the evening I'm doin' all right Doin' all right Doin' all right I'm doin' all right
