Well, I tried to run my game She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before" And I'm too tired to go for your show Again and again And she started to explain She said "Man, I ain't sayin' What you're playin' just can't make it But I just can't take it anymore" Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello Play something I can understand Play me some Brickyard Blues Play somethin' sweet now make it funky Just make me lay back and grin like a monkey Play something I can understand Play me some Brickyard Blues Well, I started to sweat She said "Don't get upset 'Cause you just might break a string And that won't do a thing for your show, don't you know" So I said to myself I said, "Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?" And I gotta have some more, don't ya know Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello Play something I can understand Play me some Brickyard Blues Play somethin' sweet now make it funky Just make me lay back and grin like a monkey Play something I can understand Play me some Brickyard Blues Well, well, well It's enough to make a light in the dark It's enough to make a bite just a bark It's enough to make a body move around It's enough to make a bulldog hug a hound Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello Play something I can understand Play me some Brickyard Blues Alright Frankie Miller
