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 nothing but the blues

[Verse 2]

Ain't got no coffee that's perkin'

Ain't got no feelings to bruise

Don't have a dream that is workin'

I ain't got nothing but the blues

[Verse 3]

The band is swingin'

The folks are singin'

I just can't let my hair down

Believe me, Pruitt

Ain't nothin' to it

Since my little baby left town

[Verse 4]

Ain't got no rest in my slumbers

Don't have no winnings to lose

Ain't got no telephone number

I ain't got nothing but the blues

[Verse 5]

The band is stompin'

The folks are rompin'

I just can't let my hair down

Believe me, Bridgette

I can't get with it

Since my little baby left town

[Verse 6]

Ain't got no house in Westchester

Don't have no Chris-Craft to cruise

Ain't got no Basie with Lester

I ain't got nothing but the blues

Written by: Don George, Duke Ellington
