Jitterbug Blues
Life ain’t never easy, lots of things go wrong
Life ain’t never easy, lots of things go wrong It can make you feel small, but you always have to stay strong There’s a whole lot of questions, but answers always get lost There’s a whole lot of questions, but answers always get lost All you want is to keep warm, but you can’t stay out of the frost Refrain So let’s dance the Jitterbug Dance the jitters away Open up that big cupboard And get the jeroboam out right away Yeah, let’s dance the Jitterbug Open up our souls Let’s fill up all our cups So we really can get warm Work ain’t never easy, you can always lose your job Work hard ten or thirty years, but still you can lose your job ‘Cause some grab all and let others pay the lot As your years get more, your health always gets less As your years get more, your health always gets less If you don’t have cancer, I’ll bet somebody close has Refrain Love ain’t never easy, you’ll fall, but when, you can’t tell Love ain’t never easy, you’ll fall, but when, you can’t tell Like you’re on a tightrope in heaven, with a drop down to hell….. It will back you or break you, kind love is hard to find It’ll back you or break you, it’s hard to find the kind Just when you trust and settle down, you find yourself left behind Refrain Blues is about living, and every day you can have the blues Blues is about living, and every day you can have the blues Sometimes you win, but that’s just to give you something to lose Sometimes you win, but that’s just to give you something to lose Jitterbug Blues |
