Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ain't got the change of a nickel

Ain't got no bounce in my shoes

Ain't got no fancy to tickle

I ain't got nothin' but the blues

[Verse 2]

Ain't got no coffee that's perkin'

Ain't got no feelings to brew

Ain't got a dream that's working

I ain't got nothin' but the blues

[Verse 3]

The band is swingin', the folks are singin'

And I just can't seem to get of the ground

Believe me, Bridget, I can't get with it

Since my little baby left town

[Verse 4]

Ain't got no rest in my slumber

AIn't got no winners to lose

Lost all my telephone numbers

I ain't got nothin' but the blues

[Verse 5]

The band is rompin', the folks are stompin'

Now I just can't seem to get with it

Ain't nothin' to it, I just can't do it

Since my little baby left town

[Verse 6]

Ain't got no house in Westchester

Ain't got no Chris-Craft to cruise

Sold all my money in Chester

I ain't got nothin' but the blues
