Only two days off, and five days of school,
Lots of chores and home-work, and caf-e-teria food.
Life can be hard, and I'm pay-in my dues,
and now I know I'm old e-nough to sing the blues!
CHORUS: She's got the blues (she's got the blues)
She's got the blues (she's got the blues)
She's paid her dues; she's old enough to sing the blues
you think that's bad, well listen to this!
I was baby sit-tin', my little sis-ter Bess
but I got care-less, and she made a mess
my father says I'm grounded 'til twenty-twenty two.
and now I know I'm old enough to sing the blues.
She's got the blues (she's got the blues)
She's got the blues (she's got the blues)
She's paid her dues; she's old enough to sing the blues
you think that's bad, well listen to this!
I try to train my bull-dog, but he doesn't have a clue.
It wastes my time... and annoys him, too!
today for lunch he chewed up my pair of brand new shoes
I guess that proves I'm old enough to sing the blues!
She's got the blues (she's got the blues)
She's got the blues (she's got the blues)
She's paid her dues; she's old enough to sing the blues
you think that's bad, well listen to this!
coda:
She's paid her dues, she's old enough to sing the blues! Oh Yeah!
