If you're lonesome and you're feeling blue
Let me tell you what to do
Baby – get down 'n play the blues
Don't let the folks around here drive you crazy
Just sit back and take it easy
Baby – get down 'n play the blues
Dig the music let it turn you on
Rocking to the boogie-rhythm all night long
Baby – get down 'n play the blues
Tuba at the bottom to hold it down
Roll on easy – man, I love that sound
Baby – get down 'n play the blues
Steady beat and a funky tune
Pickin' and a-grinnin' by the light of the moon
Baby – get down 'n play the blues
Get some action – move your feet
Satisfaction guaranteed
Baby – get down 'n play the blues
If your knees are knocking and you feel like rocking
If your hips are shaking and the strings ain't breaking
Baby – get down 'n play the blues
It don't cost money – just take your time
We'll be hoppin'-and-a-boppin' til the morning-light
Baby – get down 'n play the blues
