Lyrics
I ain't got change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
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 feelings to bruise
Don't have a dream that's working
I ain't got nothing but the blues
The band is swinging
The folks are singing
I just can't let my head down
Believe me Pruitt
Ain't nothing to it
Since my l'il baby left town
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Don't have no winners to lose
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues
Interlude...
The band is stomping
The folks are romping
I just can't let my head down
Believe me Bridget
I can't get with it
Since my l'il baby left town
Ain't got no house in Westchester
Don't have no Chris Craft to cruise
Ain't got no basie with Lester act
I ain't got nothing but the blues.
Writer(s): Duke Ellington
