John Sebastian
Moanin’ Lisa Blues
I got a bratty brother
He bugs me everyday
This morning my own mother
Gave my last cupcake away
My dad, he acts like
Like he belongs in the zoo
I'm the saddest kid
The saddest kid in grade number two

I wish I had a pony
I wish I were 18
I wish I had a dime
For every kid who treats me mean
They tease me cause I'm different
Little different from the rest
Oh yes
Well I'm down so low
If I cheered up I'd still be depressed

My saxophone's my best friend
I play all over town
But when I practice in my room I hear
"Lisa, keep it down!"
Although I'm only eight years old
I've really paid my dues
It's true
That's why I got a case of
A case of the Moanin' Lisa Blues
I wonder how I got here
I wonder what I'll be
The saddest little twig
On this crazy family tree
I feel like I'm a loser
With nothing left to lose
That's why I've got a case of
A case of the Moanin' Lisa Blues

Cause there's just no postponing
A case of the Moanin' Lisa Blues
