Joe Jackson - I Ain't Got Nothin' But The Blues / Do Nothin' 'Til You Hear From Me Lyrics

Joe Jackson Lyrics

"I Ain't Got Nothin' But The Blues / Do Nothin' 'Til You Hear From Me"
(feat. Sharon Jones)
(originally by Duke Ellington)

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 winnings to lose
Ain't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothing but the blues

When trumpets flare up, I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me, pappy, I can't get happy
Since my ever-loving baby left town

Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues

Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose
Ain't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothing but the blues

When trumpets flare up, I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me pappy, I can't get happy
Since my ever-loving baby left town

Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues

Woo, nothing
I said nothing
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na nothing
