Ain't got the change of a nickel

Ain't got no bounce in my shoes

Ain't go no fancy to tickle

I ain't got nothing but the blues

Ain't got no coffee that's perking

Ain't got no feelings to bruise

Don't have a dream that is working

I ain't got nothing but the blues

The band is swingin' the folks are singing

I just can't let mind down

Believe me Brigitte ain't nothing to it

Since my little baby left town

Ain't got no rest in my slumbers

Don't have no winnings to lose

Ain't got no telephone numbers

I ain't got nothing but the blues

The band is stompin' the folks are rompin'

I just can't let my head down

Believe me Pruitt I can't get with it

Since my little baby left town

Ain't got no house in Westchester

Don't have no Chris Craft to cruise

Ain't got no Basie with Lester

I ain't got nothing but the blues
