Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I burned my fingers on the coffee pot
Toast was cold and the orange juice was hot
I should start over but you know I'd rather not
Same thing gonna happen again
And that's the bag I'm in
[Verse 2]
You know last night as I was walking down the street
Whistling the blues to the tapping of my feet
Some old cranks called the cops on the beat
It'll happen every time
[Verse 3]
Every morning when I get up
I miss my connections and I'm late for work again
You know they'll probably drop the atom bomb
The day my ship comes in and
I dasn't bet a nickle 'cause I'd get paid off in yen
Somehow you just can't win
And that's the bag I'm in
[Verse 4]
The jukebox playing the same old melody
Keeps on bringing back those blue memories
You know this evil feeling's gonna be the death of me
I think I'm going out of my mind
[Verse 5]
Every morning when I get up
I burn my fingers on the pot
Toast was cold and the juice was hot, I
I should start over but you know I'd rather not
Same thing again
That's the bag I'm in
[Verse 6]
Ah, that's the kind of bag I'm in
I'll never get out of this blues alive
'Cause that's the bag I'm in
