I Ain't Got Nothing But the Blues
Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce, no bounce in my shoes
I ain't got no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose
Ain't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothing but the blues
When trumpets flare up
I keep my hair up
I just can't make it get down
Believe me, peppie
I can't get happy
Since my ever-loving baby left town
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I-I-I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bouncer in my shoes
Ain't got no fancy to tickle
Ooh, I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose
Ain't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothing but the blues
I got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
I ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues
I ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce in my shoes
Ain't got no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing
Ain't got a damn thing but the blues
I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no bounce, no bounce in my shoes
I ain't got no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose
Ain't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothing but the blues
When trumpets flare up
I keep my hair up
I just can't make it get down
Believe me, peppie
I can't get happy
Since my ever-loving baby left town
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I-I-I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bouncer in my shoes
Ain't got no fancy to tickle
Ooh, I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose
Ain't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothing but the blues
I got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
I ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues
I ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce in my shoes
Ain't got no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing
Ain't got a damn thing but the blues
I ain't got nothing but the blues
