Mann-Weil The band and I, we played from nine to five It didn't pay much 'cause the place was just a dive But then one night I saw her in the crowd She asked if singing with the band would be allowed It was just a week day night So I said it would be all right That's how I met the girl who sang the blues She sang the blues like no-one has ever heard And you could tell that she'd lived every word The girl was something special, we could see She sang her song of love and she looked at me The girl could do no worng
So we let her sing all night long That's how I met the girl who sang the blues I still remember that fateful night The man with the big cigar He walked in the club right up to her, he said "Hey girl - my name's Brian Epstein!" The band and I still play from nine to five Since that night, the music came alive The girl still sings her songs to me, I know But now she's singing 'em on the radio It hurst to realize I'm just one of a million guys In love with the girl, the girl who sang the blues
