Joe Jackson
I Ain’t Got Nothin’ but the Blues / Do Nothin’ ‘til You Hear From Me
[Verse 1]
Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain't go 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

[Bridge]
When trumpets flare up, I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me, pappy, I can't get happy
Since my ever-loving baby left town

[Verse 2]
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
When trumpеts flare up, I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Bеlieve me pappy, I can't get happy
Since my ever-loving baby left town

[Verse 2]
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues

[Outro]
Woo, nothing
I said nothing
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na nothing
