Every time blues brings sadness,
chase them away with gladness.
Crying those blues will grieve you,
swinging those blues will leave you.
Really ain't nothing to it,
swinging the blues will do it.
Soon as I feel them com ing,
right away I start a mess.
Everything's free and easy,
long as you're feeling breezy.
Really ain't nothing to it,
swinging the blues will do it.
When blues come round,
don't be sad
Just swing those blues, you'll be glad
When blues can't cause you trouble
Well, that's when they
go away mad
Swing those blues,
kick up your heels and ball
When they come to call,
I'm really telling
Don't, don't, don't,
better not doubt the truth of what I say
All you gotta do to lose the blues
is get to swingin' real good
Great discoveries never made a big
impression on the people who were drunk
At the cat who really burst out
Really ain't nothin'
to it
Swingin' the blues will do it
I told the blues,
don't keep hangin' round me
Don't try to haunt me
I tried to lose them plenty of times,
but I failed and they found me
What a relief when I know
finally what you have to do
Now keep on playing them blues,
keep singing the blues
And the blues will have to go away from
you
I hear you talking,
so tell the truth, baby
Better know what you're talking about,
really, before advising you
It's red news by inviting people, swing away the blues,
that's it, those blues are gonna split
Before you lose her, you gotta swing her, you gotta get her, you gotta sing her,
you gotta cry her, you gotta grieve her, you gotta swing her, you gotta leave her
So listen to me, try to do it,
it's very easy, she's got to do it
Ooyah, ooyah, ooyah, ooyah, yah, ooyah, yah, I'm givin' those blues a shot,
swingin' right on through this happy life I love.
