Blue [Live Album Version[00:00:00]
We'd like to sing a children's song for you now[00:00:00]
That's unique[00:00:04]
It's the only children's song[00:00:05]
That we've ever encountered[00:00:07]
That contains all three of the basic elements[00:00:08]
Of every single children's song[00:00:11]
The first element is simplicity[00:00:16]
So that the child can understand this song[00:00:18]
The second element is pathos[00:00:22]
To prepare the child for later traumatic experiences[00:00:25]
And the third element is repetition[00:00:30]
To give the child a false sense of security[00:00:33]
I had a dog and his name was Blue[00:00:46]
I had a dog and his name was Blue[00:00:48]
I had a dog and his name was Blue[00:00:50]
I betcha five dollars he's a good dog too[00:00:52]
Singin' here ol' Blue hey you're a good dog you[00:00:56]
Ol' Blue come when I blow my horn[00:01:06]
Ol' Blue come when I blow my horn[00:01:09]
A Blue come a runnin' through the yella' corn[00:01:11]
A Blue come a runnin' when I blow my horn[00:01:13]
Singin' here ol' Blue hey you're a good dog you[00:01:17]
What if this song were to be changed[00:01:24]
Modified by an unscrupulous modifier of folk songs[00:01:29]
Whose business it is to make[00:01:34]
This type of song palatable[00:01:35]
For the teenage delinquent mother my dog instinct[00:01:37]
Let with your a rock 'n roll song[00:01:44]
Oh nasty unscrupulous modifier[00:01:46]
Now it would sound something like this[00:02:00]
Hup two three four five six hey[00:02:10]
Well I got a dog and his name is Blue[00:02:16]
I betcha five dollars he's a good dog too[00:02:20]
Oh[00:02:23]
Oh oh oh[00:02:37]
Well Blue why did you leave me sweetheart[00:02:43]
Blue you promised to write and I I sit I sit[00:02:50]
I sit alone at night now sifting[00:02:56]
Sand through my fingers[00:03:00]
Looking for some trace of you[00:03:03]
Come back Blue I I I I want you[00:03:06]
I I I need you[00:03:14]
And I'm going to have you here Blue[00:03:24]
