Small children pound
Babe's blues around
Blues made them cry
Unlike adults
Have fewer faults
And as a rule
They're pretty cool
They meet blues
They greet blues
Then beat blues
Kids take a fall
But like a ball
Bounce up again
They'll shed a tear
Too full of fear
They're not afraid
They've got it made
Kids meet blues
Then greet blues
And beat blues
Small girls and boys
Treat blues as toys
Like in a game
Blues come their way
Most every day
Kids let them in
Don't let them win
Kids make blues
Then fake blues
Then shake blues
(24 bars scat)
(24 bars horn solo)
We tiny todds
Scat blues a lot
But never grieve
Kids in the know
When feeling low
Cries blues away
Don't let them stay
Kids spy blues
Kids eye blues
Goodbye blues
Kids make blues
Then fake blues
Then shake blues
Kids make blues
Then fake blues
Then shake blues
