ABC's of the Blues

you got some time to kill?
got nothin' to lose?
then sit back and listen
to a woman who has
paid her dues
I got news
for you fools
who've been to the School of Hard Knocks
like me
the learnin's never over
and the schoolin's never free
but there's always lovin'
and there's always booze
if you know the ABC's
of the blues
"A"- oooooh, his arms around ya so tight
"B"- baby, all through the night
"C"- candy 'cause he tastes so right
"D"- he's my sweet delight
"E"- such ecstasy
"F"- sets an easy lovin' woman free
"G"- golly golly gee!
"H"- all that honey just for me?
"I"- illicit thrills abound
"J"- Jack came tumblin' down
"K"- kisses plenty alla time
"L"- he does to me what I do to the lime
"M"- mmmm...he's got a good sense of direction
"N"- I hope my naughty nature is catchin'
"O"- hey now, over here
"P"- I'll pout until you persevere
"Q"- Jack be nimble Jack be quick
"R"- red roses won't do the trick
"S"- such a fine, fine, fine, fine man!
"T"- he smiles and gives my soul a tan
"U"- utter devastation
"V"- my caution just took a long vacation
"W"- hello, darlin'...welcome home
"X"- you can play my xylophone
"Y"- you know I won't be yawnin'
"Z"- 'cause that man is IN THE ZONE!!!!
 
and those are the blues
broken down
'cause he's long gone
and I'm still
in town
