Blues Song (Album Version) - The Dead Milkmen[00:00:00]
We can stand naked on the corner[00:00:03]
Of Main Street baby and[00:00:05]
Let everybody slow down and take a look[00:00:07]
You can drive your Cadillac to the library [00:00:12]
Baby and maybe read the[00:00:14]
Last ten pages of an Agatha Christie book[00:00:17]
You can feed my cat to my dog[00:00:21]
And turn around and feed my dog to my horse[00:00:23]
You can screw the whole damn royal family [00:00:30]
Baby until they[00:00:32]
All get a divorce[00:00:34]
Baby baby baby[00:00:38]
Baby you can do anything you wanna do baby[00:00:40]
I swear it will not bother me[00:00:42]
Cause baby you know[00:00:43]
Baby you know you've got to[00:00:44]
You've got to[00:00:45]
You've got to be what you're going to be[00:00:46]
You can burn down the orphanage [00:00:52]
Baby over there on the[00:00:53]
Poor side of town[00:00:55]
You can go to the circus [00:01:00]
Baby frighten the elephants[00:01:00]
See if you can get them to maybe [00:01:02]
Trample a clown[00:01:04]
You can steal the prize out of[00:01:08]
My box of cereal baby and[00:01:09]
Replace it with a rat[00:01:12]
You can walk up to someone[00:01:16]
Who might be a little overweight[00:01:17]
And be kinda sensitive about it and say[00:01:19]
"Oh my god you're really fat "[00:01:21]
Live and let live baby[00:01:25]
That's the cornerstone[00:01:26]
The very essence of my philosophy[00:01:27]
And baby[00:01:29]
Baby you know[00:01:30]
You know you've got to[00:01:30]
You've got to[00:01:31]
You've got to be what you're going to be[00:01:32]
I'm gonna play my harmonica[00:01:37]
Since I charge 35 dollars a note[00:01:41]
I'm not gonna play much of my harmonica[00:01:43]
You see the blues[00:01:46]
The blues isn't an art form[00:01:47]
It's not a type of music[00:01:49]
The blues is a product[00:01:50]
Not unlike computer chips or tampons[00:01:51]
The blues is a way for white kids to feel[00:01:54]
That they understand the feelings of black people[00:01:56]
Without ever having to meet any of them[00:01:58]
The blues is all these things and more[00:02:02]
Available for 19 95[00:02:04]
Oh baby[00:02:10]
Baby you can do whatever you wanna do baby[00:02:11]
Baby you know it's not going to bother me[00:02:13]
Cause baby you know[00:02:15]
You know you've got to[00:02:16]
You've got to be what you're going to be[00:02:16]
Here comes the solo [00:02:21]
Ooh and what a solo it is[00:02:29]
You know[00:02:33]
That might not be the blues[00:02:34]
But it sure makes me sad[00:02:36]
Listen in the distance[00:02:44]
The sound of Leadbelly rolling in his grave[00:02:46]
I've said it before baby[00:02:56]
I'll say it again[00:02:57]
Live and let live[00:02:58]
The very essence the cornerstone[00:02:59]
The summit of my philosophy[00:03:01]
Baby baby you know[00:03:02]
Baby you know you've got to[00:03:03]
You've got to be what you're going to be[00:03:04]
A blues man needs a nickname[00:03:09]
And everybody calls me Two Shoes[00:03:12]
Cause I always wear two shoes[00:03:14]
I know It's not much of a nickname[00:03:16]
But by the time I got around to[00:03:17]
Getting my nickname[00:03:19]
All the good ones were taken[00:03:20]
Take for example Blind Lemon Lipschitz[00:03:21]
Blind Lemon Lipschitz gouged out[00:03:25]
His own eyes with his thumbnails[00:03:27]
So he could be called blind lemon[00:03:28]
It's true don't laugh[00:03:32]
He felt the very essence of the blues [00:03:35]
Calling him from within[00:03:38]
And he felt that contract too[00:03:40]
Oh baby[00:03:42]
Baby you know[00:03:42]
Baby you know you can do whatever you do[00:03:43]
I don't care[00:03:45]
I don't give a damn baby[00:03:45]
It's not gonna bother me[00:03:46]
Cause baby baby b-b-b-b-b-b-b[00:03:47]
You gotta[00:03:50]
You gotta[00:03:50]
You gotta[00:03:50]
You gotta[00:03:51]
You gotta be[00:03:51]
You gotta be what you're going to be[00:03:52]
