The doctor says, "You're okay"
People, how'm I supposed to get the blues
when everything keeps goin' my way?
Policeman pulled me over
Said, "HEY, BUDDY... oh — it's my fault, please excuse!"
Yeah, good luck just keeps on followin' me
And, people, I just can't seem to get the blues
I got home not long ago
There was a note tacked on the door
Said, "I'm GONE! But I'll be right back
Just had to run down to the store"
She got home 10 minutes later
I said, "Woman, where you been??"
And then I said, "Baby, please don't go, you gotta help me, girl!"
She said, "Just shut up and help me bring the groceries in"
People, life can be frustratin'
when you're just not born to lose
The gypsy woman gave me my money back
and said, "Son, I just don't think you're gonna get the blues"
I went down to the local juke joint
People, I was ready to jump and shout
Told the man, "We gonna pitch a wang dang doodle"
He said, "What the hell you talkin' about?"
Walked up to a woman at a table
I said, "Look here, I'm an M-A-N man!"
She said, "No, you're a G-double-E-K geek"
I said, "Wait, no, no, don't kick me out, you don't understand!"
Just like when John Lee's mama told his papa... mama told papa... no, wait... papa told mama... pa... even that part I get confused
Yeah, my mama had 'em and my daddy had 'em
And my sister had 'em and my brother had 'em
And my aunts had 'em and my uncles had 'em
And my gerbils had 'em and my goldfish had 'em
And even my 400-pound ex-wife Roberta useta get kinda mad when she wanted to play "The Great Love Goddess Meets Little Mr. Squishy" and I'd say "Roberta, you're gonna get away before you hurt me anymore like that," and you can bet that Go-liath looked down there at little David holdin' that rock and said "You'd better put that rock away before they have to pull it out of your a—" ...sorry...
And people, I just can't seem to get the blues
