Thread Name: What are the lyrics to YOUR worst song
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: What's YOUR worst song
Well folks. I am counting on you 'Catters to forgive and forget quickly. Here is a copy bbook example of how NOT to write a blues song...

I Ain't Got The Blues


I woke up this morning – the dog was still alive
I wasn't yawning – I don't work nine to five
I did not feel hungover 'cos I hadn't had no booze
I just smiled at Rover 'cos I ain't got the blues


Down at St. James Infirmary - my girlfriend was well
She's a nurse like my Uncle Bill
And on my birthday – they bought me brand new shoes
It was a smashing holiday and I ain't got the blues

It did not rain on Monday and Tuesday was just fine
I sunbathed all day Wednesday – Thursday was divine
The boss gave me the week off work – and paid my union dues
Now everything's going great for me and I ain't got the blues!
