I hate the blues I hate the blues Play me something I can cloud 9 to 'Cause I hate the blues Crank it up And give it to me funky Leave them blues alone Have me in mood for something optimistic We've been down too long Have the songs We all need them We've been down too long Happy, happy songs You can't beat them Make somebody want to sing along (Sing along) I hate the blues I hate the blues Play me something I can cloud 9 to I'm sick and tired of the blues I've tried rain songs And pain songs And blow out of your brain songs And songs about how to lose I hate broken heart songs And torned apart songs And put that off the chart songs I'll just stay in the nude. I hate the blues Yes, I hate the blues So come on boys And play a good time song Hey give me something we can cloud 9 to Cloudin' makes you want to sing along. I hate the blues
