Beat the Blues

Try a little music, play a new CD
do something different
if you wanna beat the blues.
Drink a little coffee, smoke another joint
do something different
if you wanna beat the blues.
Seek a brand new friend, jog around the block,
do something different
if you wanna beat the blues.
Have a dam good cry, clean out your drawers today,
do something different
if you wanna beat the blues.
Drag yourself out of bed, admit you have the blues
do something different
if you wanna beat the blues
