Lyrics

I find myself laughing when it just isn't cool
People think I am nothing but some crazy fool
I smile like the Cheshire cat when I'm at my ease
So won't you tell me please
What kind of blues are these?

I walk with a spring in every step I take
With a grin on my face like a real fruitcake
I roar with laughter when I sneeze
So won't you tell me please
What kind of blues are these?

What kind of blues are these?
What kind of blues are these?
I feel as fresh as a warm sea breeze
What kind of blues are these?

I'm not in love, no I know I'm not
I'm perfectly sane I haven't lost the plot
I'm feeling as strong as Hercules
So won't you tell me please
What kind of blues are these?

It's a surefire winning song, the contradiction in the lyric give the words as much electricity as your cigar box has, it's a real buzz and could be taken so many ways.

Yeah!!! I love that dirty, cigar box jam. I might have to use my 3 string Texas license plate guitar on my skirmish when I musicate them . This is super fun! I went a similar direction with the unblues theme. This works great. Very rnjoyable.

I like this twist. Like you'd been blue so long long you didn't know happiness when it came along.

Oh my gosh, this is so GREAT!! I'm so delighted with this song. The guitar is so good and the liner's description of it only makes it better ❤️

Also, I love the effect on the guitar, but I also love that the vocals are still front. Makes me happy cuz I hate when you can't hear the words and that is so often the case when those kinds of effects are happening lol.
