I THINK I’M GOING TO WRITE A FUNKY BLUES SONG
IT’LL HAVE THE KIND OF WORDS THAT YAWL CAN SING ALONG
IF YOU DON’T MIND MY GUITAR PLAYIN’
I WON’T MIND YOUR WAILIN’ SO COME ON
SING ALONG HAVE SOME FUN
NOW JUST WHAT IS IT THAT’S BOTHERING YOU
DESCRIBE ALL YOUR FEELINGS, ADD A 7TH, MAKE IT BLUE
WITH A MINOR THIRD COMING ON THROUGH
THAT’S THE BLUES, AIN’T IT TRUE
IT’S UP TO YOU, YA GOTTA CHOOSE
SINGING THE BLUES FOR YOU IS REALLY GOOD TO DO
TAKE ALL YOUR CARES AWAY
AND BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAY
BRINGING THE BLUES TO YOU AIN’T REALLY HARD TO DO
UNLESS YOU’VE HAD YOUR WAY
EVERY SINGLE DAY
LOOK AROUND, ALL YOU SEE
CAN MAKE YOU BLUE OR HAPPY I’D RATHER BE GLAD, NOT SAD
DON’T YOU SEE HOW EASILY IT CAN BE HAD
NOW WHO SAYS THE BLUES GOT TO BRING YOU DOWN
IF YOU’RE ALREADY THERE, IT’LL JUST MAKE YOU FROWN
PRESENTED IN THE RIGHT WAY
BLUES CAN LIGHTEN UP YOUR WEIGHT
SO LOOK AROUND AT WHAT CAN BE FOUND
DON’T YOU THINK YA LIKE THIS FUNKY BLUES SONG
DON’T THE KIND AND FRIENDLY MUSIC MAKE YOU SING ALONG
WITH THE GUITAR PLAYIN’
AND ALL OF US WAILIN’
WE’LL HAVE SOME FUN
SINGING THE BLUES FOR YOU IS REALLY GOOD TO DO
TAKE ALL YOUR CARES AWAY
AND BRIGHTEN UPYOUR DAY
BRINGING THE BLUES TO YOU AIN’T REALLY HARD TO DO
UNLESS YOU’VE HAD YOUR WAY
EVERY SINGLE DAY
LOOK AROUND, ALL YOU SEE
CAN MAKE YOU BLUE OR HAPPY I’D RATHER BE GLAD, NOT SAD
DON’T YOU SEE HOW EASILY IT CAN BE HAD
