I used to sing this with a band called the Greasy Greens and here are a few modifications we used.

But the bluest blues there be
Are the blues that I've got on my mind
They're the very meanest kind
The blues my naughty sweetie gives to me.



There are blues you get from setting
In a taxi cab and fretting
Every time you hear the bumper jump the clock.(that's the ticking of the meter)


But the blues that make you wanna hop and stomp and shake and shiver

It's a great song for big bands because everyone can take a line or two.
