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 Hey, bumpity 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 Hey, what's a blue man say When he's got to wake up To another blue day Oh, and nothing is right And he's got no disguise Who knows, maybe he woke up In a different guy Why do i feel like a bomb? My heart hurts like a drum, why? My heart says bumpity bump
