Get Down n Play The Blues

by Hans Theessink recording of 1995 from Crazy Moon (RFR 1016) If you're lonesome and you're feeling blue Let me tell you what to do Baby, get down 'n play the blues Don't let the folks around here drive you crazy Just sit back and take it easy Baby, get down 'n play the blues Dig the music let it turn you on Rocking to the boogie-rhythm all night long Baby, get down 'n play the blues Tuba at the bottom to hold it down Roll on easy, man, I love that sound Baby, get down 'n play the blues Steady beat and a funky tune Pickin' and a-grinnin' by the light of the moon Baby, get down 'n play the blues Get some action, move your feet Satisfaction guaranteed Baby, get down 'n play the blues If your knees are knocking and you feel like rocking If your hips are shaking and the strings ain't breaking Baby, get down 'n play the blues It don't cost money, just take your time We'll be hoppin'-and-a-boppin' till the morning-light Baby, get down 'n play the blues
