I Ain’t Got Nothing but the Blues

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

Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Don't have a dream that is working
I ain't got nothin' but the blues

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

Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Don't have no winnings to lose
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothin' but the blues

The band is stompin'
The folks are rompin'
I just can't let my hair down
Believe me, Bridget
I can't get with it
Since my little baby left town

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 nothin' but the blues
