What's a blue man gonna do When he collects the whole set of the blues He can't move He can't shake his slump A blue man says bumpity bump Heybumpity bump My heart hurts like a drum What's a man What's a blue man gonna do When he knows the truth of the blues He can't find the world a satisfyin' place He can't even face his own face Why do I hurt like a drum? My heart says bumpity bump A blue man What's he got to do Go to sleep to evade the blues? They might follow him right into his dreams They might corner him and make him scream Why do I feel like a bomb? My heart says bumpity bump Heywhat's a blue man say When he's got to wake up To another blue day Ohand nothing is right And he's got no disguise Who knowsmaybe he woke up In a different guy Why do I feel like a bomb? My heart hurts like a drumwhy? My heart says bumpity bump
