The Blues Is Here to Stay

Some people sit and giggle

When they hear the guitar ring

If the band is playin' the blues

They try to hide their face in shame

But I don't care what some people say

Play the blues with the feeling I know the blues is here to stay

There's a new sound born

In music everyday

If you like to mumble

Just go ahead and have your way

I don't care what some people say

Play the blues with the feeling I know the blues is here to stay

Now if I'd liked pop music

Or one of those funny tunes

I'd play it mornin' and evenin'

And everyday at noon

I don't care what some people say

Play the blues with the feeling I know the blues is here to stay

I play the blues with the feeling I know the blues is here to stay

Just play the blues with the feeling I know the blues is here to stay
