Someone Else's BluesI read the paper this morning,
and there was nothing but good news.
I read the paper this morning,
and there was nothing but good news.
But I feel so sad and worried,
I must have someone else's blues.

My baby says she loves me,
and I know her words are true.
She tells me that she loves me,
and I know her words are true.
But sometimes I feel like crying,
I must have someone else's blues.

I've been in my favorite club
so long they don't charge me dues.

But I feel lonely at the meetings,
I must have someone else's blues.

I guess I'll go out looking,
I got to find

Yup. I was really thinking of an old Irving Berlin song called "Let's Face the Music and Dance" - it's in an Astaire and Rogers movie. But only the disco plz is animated... so I had to go with that instead.

And your mind hosted the much better song !!!

It's a good mind that way sometimes

But seriously, yes - the "Great American Songbook" gets redone by too many minor talents, but those are great songs and when you go back to people like Astaire and Nat Cole and Billie Holiday singing them

Not to mention Armstrong and Ella of course. And Sarah.
