Summertime Blues

sing to a traditional blues beat, mix with a little hound-dog, and look soulful....

The thermometer is reaching a hundred
there is not a cloud in the sky
the wind went on vacation
I think I'm going to die
I got the blues...
I got the summertime heat-wave blues.

We took our cooler to Sears
they might repair it in a year
never buy a warranty
they never fix anything for free
OH LORDY
I got the Blues
I got the summertime no air-conditioner
sweating like a horse
heat-wave blues.

The kids are feeling grumpy
another six hours of t.v.
Dad smells like a lumberjack
who never buys deodorant
He won't be lovin' me tonight
Maybe I'll go sleep outside...
I GOT THE BLUES..... I got the take a cold-cold shower
don't touch me I'm too hot and tired
summertime heat wave
it's over a hundred degrees
BLUES

  5. Okay it is pretty warm in NE, but the a/c works so the invitation to come is open to you and the fam...mind you there ARE four kids and another on the way this weekend (he is 16 and staying for about a week). It would definitely NOT be a quiet time away, but you are welcome! ;)

  8. What a sad sack. I liked the lyrics, though. They were very creative, Poppins. I can fully relate. I just may have to go pick up a harmonica today so that I can play that.

  10. OMG, the only thing worse than this heat is having to spend all morning on the phone with three different banks and an escrow company while being abused by a customer service rep (who actually called me back to chastise me for hanging up on him!) IN THIS HEAT! Sorry, rant over.

  14. Lol...This is good.

    I do feel for you though as I'm laughing. I think I'd probably cry if our air went out.

    Ha! I think I have the "It's 100 degrees outside, but it looks like a gigantic thunderstorm is comin' our way" blues! The humidity is through the roof here in Colorado, which is something that I am not used to!!!
