Ain't got the change of a nickel Ain't got no bounce in my shoes Ain't got 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, peppie 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 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 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, peppie 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, nothing, nothing but the blues Ain't got no east, no west, no good, no best Ain't got no man to choose I ain't got nothing Ain't got nothing but the blues
