I had the bClues, so bad one time it put my fFace in a permanent frown
Now I'm fCeeling so much better, I could cGakewalk into Ctown
I Cwoke up this mornin' feelin' so good, you know I lFaid back down again
Throw your big lCeg over me mama, I mGight not feel this good aCgain
My bCaby, oh my baby, I lFove the way she walks
And when my gCirl gets sleepy, I lGove the way she baby-talks
My wCork done got scarce, honey, my Fwork it done got hard,
I sCpend my whole day stealin' chickens, mama, fGrom the rich folks yard
Whistling -
C  F  C  G  C
I got the bClues, so bad one time it put my fFace in a permanent frown
You know I'm fCeeling so much better, I could cGakewalk into Ctown
I want to Cgo on a picnic in the country, mama, and sFtay all day
I don't cCare if I don't do nothing, just wGhile my time aCway
I got the bClues so bad one time it put my fFace in a permanent frown
You know I'm fCeelin' so much better I could cGakewalk into Ctown
