"Weird Al" Yankovic - Generic Blues

I woke up this morning, then I went back to bed
Said I woke up this morning, then I went right back to bed
Got a funny kind of feelin', like I got broken glass in my underwear
And a herd of wild pigs is tryin' to chew off my head
Y'know what I'm sayin'?

Well, I ain't got no money, I'm just walkin' down the road
Said I ain't got no money, honey, so I'm just walkin' down this lonely ol' road
Well, I wish I could get me some money
But I forgot my automated teller code

I was born in a papersack, in the bottom of a sewer
I had to eat dirt clods for breakfast, my family was so poor
My daddy was a waitress, my mama sold bathroom tiles
My brothers and sisters all hated me 'cause I was an only child

I got the blues so bad... woo!
Kinda wish I was dead
Maybe I'll blow my brains out, mama
Or maybe I'll, yeah, maybe I'll just go bowling instead

I'm just a no-good, scum-sucking, nose-picking, boot-licking
Sniveling, groveling, worthless hunk of slime
Nothin' but a low-down, beer-bellied, bone-headed, pidgey-toed
Turkey-necked, weasel-faced, worthless hunk of slime
I guess I got a pretty low self-image
Maybe it's a chemical imbalance or somethin', I...
I should probably go and see a doctor about it when I've got the time
Make it talk!

Aw, make it talk, son, make it talk...

Okay, now make it shut up.

Plagues and famine and pestilence always seem to get me down
I always feel so miserable whenever I'm around
I wish somebody would come along, stick a pitchfork through my brain
I'd flush myself right down the toilet, but I'd just clog up the drain

I got the blues so bad... woo!
Kinda wish I was dead
Maybe I'll blow my brains out, mama
Or maybe I'll go bowling
Or I just might go bowling
Maybe I'll just rent some shoes and go bowling
Maybe I'll join a league, enter a tournament, put on a stupid-lookin' shirt
And go bowling... instead

Yeah... woo-hoo...

@nixima1 - Oh, the cruel irony.

[residualbill]

I did some reading.

After I came to after the headache and the blacking out. I wiped the blood from my ears and nose and tried again.

I read that blues legend B.B. King listed this as one of his top ten favorite blues songs.

Me, I love this song as well.

[Enzo000000000]

I... don't understand halves of your comment, but yeah, B.B. King loves this song.

@Enzo000000000 He's trying to(and succeeding) make a very generic blues line.

[Enzo000000000]

@gkchvh - Oh. Thanks for that.

[WytZox1]

Sounds as good as anything you'd hear onstage at Kingston Mines in Chicago. Weird Al rocks!☺

[kjchicago1]

Weird Al can really "Make it talk" in this song!

[kjchicago1]

Make It Talk, Al!

[displaced7]

THE funniest SONG AL ever did!!!! I was crying with laughter!!

[schopenhauersring]

The funniest blues song ever, hands down. Brilliance.

[ThatGamer360]

For anyone who cares: This is a style parody of Chicago Blues.

[ThatGamer360]

@nixima1 'Casue it's a joke.

All your brothers and sisters hate you more then do Als non-existant ones.

[wlman303]
