Everybody's Got The Blues

Canettes Blues Band, Lyrics by S. Goldfarb

[12-bar piano-only intro]

That's the blues
You've got the blues, honey, that's the blues (that's the blues, that's the blues)
That's the blues
You've got the blues, honey, that's the blues (that's the blues, that's the blues)
Well, the only good thing about 'em
Everyone else has got 'em too

Now, your daughter's got a boyfriend and he's a lawyer too
And he'll be out of prison when he's 62
Your son is in there with him, got caught with a dime bag
That wouldn't worry you if he wasn't dressed in drag

That's the blues
You've got the blues, honey, that's the blues (that's the blues, that's the blues)
Well, the only good thing about 'em
Everyone else has got 'em too

[12-bar piano solo]
[12-bar harp solo]

You wanna drive a Lincoln, Maserati better still
But your Chevy needs a muffler and you can't afford the bill

That's the blues
You've got the blues, honey, that's the blues (that's the blues, that's the blues)
Well, the only good thing about 'em
Everyone else has got 'em too

[12-bar sax solo]

Your front door must be magic, every time that you walk in
The back door starts a slammin' and your wife's got a great big grin

That's the blues
You've got the blues, honey, that's the blues (that's the blues, that's the blues)
Well, the only good thing about 'em
Everyone else has got 'em too

[24-bar guitar solo]

That's the blues
You've got the blues, honey, that's the blues (that's the blues, that's the blues)
That's the blues
You've got the blues, honey, that's the blues (that's the blues, that's the blues)
Well, the only good thing about 'em
Everyone else has got 'em too
