Who Taught My Baby to Play the Blues?
My whole life has been leading up to this
The Millennial take on matrimonial bliss
The inevitable buildup to this kiss
My baby's the beginning and the end
But from the moment her lips bumped into mine
I became fundamentally unstuck from time
What on Earth could even be worth trying for
Now me and God are linked at the jaw?
And I know my baby's a bullet and my baby's a heart attack
And I love the way you do do do do it when you flip the record right on that track
And I know you beat me to it when you said you'd sing the blues
But I know I love the way that you do it when you don those dancing shoes
Who taught my baby to play the blues?
On a Tuesday night I gave her a ring
And said the madness of love is the greatest thing
But the madness was all that I thought to bring
When the theme of the party was love
And I know my baby's a bullet and my baby's a heart attack
And I love the way you do do do do it when you flip the record right on that track
And I know you beat me to it when you said you'd sing the blues
But I know I love the way that you do it when you don those dancing shoes
And now the world has turned to thorny branches since I plucked this rose
And now I've found my Kathleen need I ever make Swordfishtrombones?
And so the curtains close
You see I know my baby's a bullet and my baby's a heart attack
And I love the way you do do do do it when you flip the record right on that track
And I know you beat me to it when you said you'd sing the blues
But I know I love the way that you do it when you don those dancing shoes
Who taught my baby to play the blues?
And I say to myself in an empty bar
You taught my baby to play the blues
The Millennial take on matrimonial bliss
The inevitable buildup to this kiss
My baby's the beginning and the end
But from the moment her lips bumped into mine
I became fundamentally unstuck from time
What on Earth could even be worth trying for
Now me and God are linked at the jaw?
And I know my baby's a bullet and my baby's a heart attack
And I love the way you do do do do it when you flip the record right on that track
And I know you beat me to it when you said you'd sing the blues
But I know I love the way that you do it when you don those dancing shoes
Who taught my baby to play the blues?
On a Tuesday night I gave her a ring
And said the madness of love is the greatest thing
But the madness was all that I thought to bring
When the theme of the party was love
And I know my baby's a bullet and my baby's a heart attack
And I love the way you do do do do it when you flip the record right on that track
And I know you beat me to it when you said you'd sing the blues
But I know I love the way that you do it when you don those dancing shoes
And now the world has turned to thorny branches since I plucked this rose
And now I've found my Kathleen need I ever make Swordfishtrombones?
And so the curtains close
You see I know my baby's a bullet and my baby's a heart attack
And I love the way you do do do do it when you flip the record right on that track
And I know you beat me to it when you said you'd sing the blues
But I know I love the way that you do it when you don those dancing shoes
Who taught my baby to play the blues?
And I say to myself in an empty bar
You taught my baby to play the blues
