about
happy bandcamp friday, this version of this song is near and dear to me and i couldn't find any lyrics or instrumentals for it so i've made-do and will transcribe what i think they are saying below :)
lyrics
hey fellas, hey fellas,
i’ve got some mighty important news.
(hey, hey, gooood neeeews, good news.)
somebody we know is gonna throw a ball for the blue.
(a real fiesta in blue.)
don’t have to try to get in the door.
(don’t you worry at all)
just have to cry to get in the door.
(lose your blues and mend your dues)
we with the blues pay daily dues.
when invited, we’re delighted,
trouble leaves us, nothing grieves us,
everything’s alright (okay)
at this fiesta in blue tonight.
(a real fiesta in blue tonight)
the bluer the people who come,
(yeah)
the louder the party will hum.
(yeah, those with blues come on)
those with the blues withal to get rid of some, (come on)
and yet way down deep even though we’re happy
(yep)
we’re just trying to hide a lot of crime,
living life the best we can,
man behaving like a natural man,
women can all like women, ever since time’s beginning.
you start the day off
(my blues are deep)
by feeling way off
the blues won’t lay off
til you stay out
well, listen here now.
(i’ll lend an ear .)
be digging me clear now
(i’ll dig it clear.)
you gotta have feeling to enjoy the blues
(oh, yes)
you got to cry, but by and by, [echo]
you’ll find that tears are the one thing it’s good to lose
(oh, yes)
don’t let it phase you
(i gotta fly)
‘cause it’ll amaze you
(you’re talkin right)
to see the blues jumping up and down for joy
(oh, yes)
take it from me, i know it’s true my friend
that these blues of yours will linger with you until you go
to that wailing ball for the blues
(oh, them blues)
imagine having a fiesta in blue
well this piano man is gonna bring a friend
(yeah)
who really sharps the blues the end
(yeah)
so give your blues a break and smile for heaven’s sake and make it—
(come on in!)
don’t have to try to get in the door.
(don’t you worry at all)
just have to cry to get in the door.
(lose your blues and get your dues.)
(dododododo)
we with the blues pay daily dues.
when invited, we’re delighted,
trouble leaves us, nothing grieves us,
everything’s alright. (okay)
at this fiesta,
oh, what parties a man with the blues can give.
one you’ll remember as long as you may live
even with blues getting you down, and tears making you frown
you can be happy
(yeah)
you can really paint a rosy hue
(yeah)
come to fiesta in blue!
