Blues Power

This is blues power

(Well)

(You all know)

Everybody understands the blues, are you listening? (Yes)

I say everybody understands the blues

Everybody from one day to another has the blues

You take the little baby that's laying in the cradle

He can't get that milk bottle fast enough

He go to kicking and crying and going on

Tearing up the little baby bed, he got the blues

Can you dig it? (Yes) ha-ha-ha

You take this girl that's got this main squeeze

That's her boyfriend, that is, you know

And he just bought a brand new GTO

You know she wanna be with him every time he cranks it up

And go around the corner to the soda fountain

This is why she wanna go and show it off

Where all the guys and girls be, you know what I mean?

And she get ready to go out this particular night

And her mother said, "Daughter, you was just out last night

You can't go out tonight, that's too many nights in a row"

She go in the room and fasten the door, and won't answer the phone, won't eat

Won't talk to nobody, she got the blues, that's what's wrong with her

Some people call them the reds, the pinks

When you get through, it's the old-fashioned country blues, that's right

Now I ain't seen my main squeeze in ten long weeks today

You know I got the blues, can you dig it? (Yes)

But wait, I don't think you're with me

Let's have everybody get a thing going right here, yes, yes

Can you feel it? (Yes), I can't hear you, can you feel it? (Yes), yes, yes, sounds awful good

Keep it right there, children, keep it right there

The blues, and when you're doing the blues, they're so strong

That's the reason they're named, they call them blues power, yeah

And would you believe I invented blues power? (Yeah)

Can you dig the blues power? (Yeah)

Let everybody say yeah, (yeah), say it again, say yeah, (yeah)

Alright

Oh-oh

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Oh, oh

Well
