Well, I tried to run my game
She said, "Man, that's the same old thing
I've heard before
And I'm too tired to go
For your show again and again"
Then she started to explain
She said, "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin'
Just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jell-O
Play somethin' I can understand
Play me some old time blues
Why don't y'all get together now
Play somethin' sweet, now make it funky, y'all
Just make me lay back and grin like a monkey, y'all
Play somethin' I can understand, now
Play me some old time blues, y'all
Why don't y'all come on now
It's enough to make a light in the dark
It's enough to make a bite just to bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a hound
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow, y'all
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jell-O
Play somethin' I can understand
Play me some old time blues
Why don't y'all get together now, come on now
Play somethin' sweet, now make it funky, y'all
Just make me lay back and grin like a monkey, y'all
Play somethin' I can understand
Play me some old time blues
Y'all listen real good now
Well, I started to sweat, she said, "Don't get upset
'Cause you just might break a string
And that won't do a thing for your show, no"
So I said to myself, I said, "Self, do you see
What is sailin' through my soul?"
And I got to have some more, don't you know
Why don't y'all come on now
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow, now
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jell-O
Play somethin' I can understand
Play me some old time blues
Why don't the band come on, y'all
Why don't y'all now
Play somethin' sweet, now make it funky, y'all
Just make me lay back and grin like a monkey now, y'all
Why don't y'all play somethin' I can understand now
Play me some old time blues
Why don't y'all get together now, Lordy, let me say it now
It's enough to make a light in the dark
It's enough to make a bite just to bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a hound
Play somethin' sweet
