Nat “King” Cole
Just Another Blues
I'm just another blues from nineteen twenty two
A super extraordinary flaperoo!
For years I was a dusty on the well-known shelf
And really feeling awful sorry for myself!
Poor me, I'm just another blues
Then someone got the notion that I could revive
He took away my sadnes and he gave me jive;
He added boogie woogie, and when he got through
He made my blues a blues that anyone could do;
To me, I'm just another blues
I'd like to thank you for the boogie ride
Thank you for the A to the bar
Now I'm on the solid side
Biggest attraction by far!
I'm just another blues of nineteen forty four
When they start to play me they all ask for more
Who'd ever guess that this success could all take place
Because somebody put some boogie in my base;
But still, I'm just another blues
I'd like to thank you for the boogie ride
Thank you for the A to the bar
Now I'm on the solid side
Biggest attraction by far!
I'm just another blues of nineteen forty four
When they start to play me they all ask for more
Who'd ever guess that this success could all take place
Because somebody put some boogie in my base;
But still, I'm just another blues
