Woke up this morning, fell outa bed and got dressed, Burnt my eggs, toast, and newspaper -- wish I could get depressed, But I ain't got time for the blues -- better give it a rest. The neighbor's dog attacked me, bit my leg clean through, I'd locked my keys in my car, and when I got in, the radiator blew, But I ain't got time for the blues -- I got things to do. My girlfriend up and left me, and so did my wife, I had lunch at the Japanese steakhouse -- Shouldn'ta tried to juggle the sushi knife, But I ain't got time for the blues -- I gotta get on with my life. Headed for the highway, didn't see the sign that said yield, Got intimate with a semi, ended up in an open field, Well, now I've got time for the blues -- Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
