Lyrics
Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoe
Ain't got no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothin' but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that's perkin'
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Don't have a dream that is workin'
I ain't got nothin' but the blues
The band is swingin', the folks are singin'
I just can't let my hair down
Believe me Pruitt, ain't nothin' to it
Since my little baby left town
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Don't have no winnings to lose
Ain't got no telephone number
I ain't got nothin' but the blues
The band is stompin', the folks are rompin'
I just can't let my hair down
Believe me Bridget, I can't get with it
Since my little 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
I ain't got nothin' but the blues
