lyrics

I dated a girl in a hoop skirt so I wouldn’t get too close.
I caught the clap from her anyway,
Must’ve jumped straight through her clothes.
Now you know why I’ve got the blues
So don’t ask for no more clues.

Put all my money on a philly in the 3rd heat,
But not just to place or show.
She led the way to the finish line
Then she had to stop to blow her nose.
Now you know why I’ve got the blues
So don’t ask for no more clues.

I quit drinking so I’d be able to drive straight.
I drove straight into a laundry truck.
The Chinese character that fell on my head
Was the symbol for good luck.
Now you know why I’ve got the blues
So don’t ask for no more clues.

I’ve got bugs infesting my apartment
But I didn’t want to make a complaint.
So I sprayed myself with repellant.
It turned out to be car paint.
Now you know why I’ve got the blues
So don’t ask for no more clues.

My girlfriend woke me up
Said she’s moving to LA
And the only reason she woke me up
Is cause my car’s parked in her way.
Now you know why I’ve got the blues
So don’t ask for no more clues.

Well, my boss has really been screwing me
Till it really makes me ill.
The thing that makes it worse,
He’s been taking penis enlargement pills.
Now you know why I’ve got the blues
So don’t ask for no more clues.
