I Ain't Got Nothin' But The Blues - Do Nothin' Till Lyrics - The Duke - Joe Jackson

Ain't got the change of a nickel, 

Ain't got no bounce in my shoes, 

Ain't got no fancy to tickle, 

I ain't got nothin' but the blues! 

Ain't got no coffee that's perc'in, 

Ain't got no winnings to lose, 

Ain't got a dream that is workin', 

I ain't got nothin' but the blues! 

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-lovin' baby left town! 

Ain't got no rest in my slumbers, 

Ain't got no feelin's to bruise, 

Ain't got no telephone numbers, 

I ain't got nothin' but the blues! 

Ain't got no coffee that's perc'in, 

Ain't got no winnings to lose, 

Ain't got a dream that is workin', 

I ain't got nothin' but the blues, 

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-lovin' baby left town! 

Ain't got no rest in my slumbers, 

Ain't got no feelin's to bruise, 

Ain't got no telephone numbers, 

I ain't got nothin' but the blues! 

Nothin' 

I said nothing 

Nothin'
