Blues Power

This is Blues Power! (Yeah, whoo!)

Well

Play it now!

Everybody understands the blues

Are you listening? (Yeah!)

I say everybody understands the blues (yeah)

Everybody from one day to another have the blues

You take the lil' baby that's layin' in the cradle

He can't get that milk bottle fast enough

He go to kickin' and cryin'

And goin' on, tearin' up the lil' baby bed

He got the blues

Can ya dig it? (Yeah!)

You take this girl that's got this main squeeze

That's her boyfriend, that is, you know

And he just bought a brand new GTO

You know she wanna be with him every time he cranks it up

And go around the corner to the soda fountain

This is why she wanna go and show it off

Where all the guys and girls be

You know what I mean?

And she get ready to go out this particular night

And her mother say, "Daughter, you was just out last night

You can't go out tonight, that's too many nights in a row"

She go in the room and fasten the door

And won't answer the phone, won't eat

Won't talk to nobody, she got the blues

That's what's wrong with her

Some people call 'em the reds, the pinks

When you get through, it's the old-fashioned country blues

That's right, I haven't seen my main squeeze

In ten long weeks, today, you know I got the blues

Can you dig it? (Yeah!)

Whoo!

Alright!
