"Can blue men sing the whites?" I hope for her own sake that Joanne Shaw Taylor realises that
"The day I lost my Hallo Kitty pencil case" isn't gonna cut it as a blues song.
Spoiler for lyrics:
Oh I'm lying in my bed, pull the silken sheets up tight
I got to keep my strength up, got to do a show tonight
I'll have a cup of coffee while I'm taking in the news
No need to have a shave 'cause I'm gonna sing the blues
Well, I think I'll get a massage, maybe lose a little fat
So I'll have to go downtown in my brand new Cadillac
My valet comes and dresses me, I light a big cigar
Because I like to look like Nimrod when I'm riding in my car
Can blue men sing the whites
Or are they hypocrites for singing, woo, woo, wooh?
And now it's getting near the time, I gotta make the scene
I change out my dark-grey mohair suit, pull on my dirty jeans
The band comes round to pick me up, I holler: "Hello boys
I gotta mess my hair up and gotta make some noise."
Can blue men sing the whites?
Or are they hypocrites for singing: Whooo ooo oooH
