Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain't got no fancy to tickleI ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to loseAin't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothing but the blues
When trumpets flare upI keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me, peppie
I can't get happy
