Lyrics:

We want to leave you happy

Dont want to leave you sad

We want to leave you happy

Dont want to leave you sad

Want to sing some blues

But dont want to sing them bad



Roy wailed for you

He wailed the blues tonight

Roy wailed for you

He wailed the blues tonight

He wailed, he wailed, he wailed em just right



He talked about a mean woman

Oh what a woman was she

Talked about a mean woman

What a woman was she

Ive got my chance to talk about a man

Ill talk about he



He was good to me

He was good

He was good to me

Whoa, so good

I dont know much about the blues

But I know somewhere



Theres a little bit of soul in ella

Theres a little bit of soul in me

Theres a little bit of soul in ella

Theres a little bit of soul in me

Oh somewhere down the line

Ive had misery



Every woman gets misery

Every woman is crying

Every woman has misery

Every woman is crying

Crying bout a man

And the way he did her wrong



I had one too

I had one too

I had one too

I had one too

He did me wrong, but what did I do

I picked up and took patoot



Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

I want to go out swinging

Swinging the blues tonight



Dont want to talk about mack the knife

Dont want to talk about the snuffing

Just want to have fun talking about

Things that make you happy

Snappy happy happy snappy, thats me



Joe williams sang the blues tune

He talked about his woman

Joe williams sang the blues tune

He talked about his woman

Everybody, everybody pays those dues



Have you paid your dues

Have you paid your dues

Have you paid your dues

Have you paid your dues

Everybody, somewhere along the line is paying some dues



Dues, one and two

Dues, doesnt matter nothing

Dues, three and four

Dues, maybe more, thats all right

Youre still paying dues



So lets stay happy, happy, happy

Lets stay happy

Go swinging out, swinging out, swinging out

Singing the blues



Bye-bye

Bye-bye

Its been a wonderful night tonight

Yes, its been nice

One more chorus, just for you



I thank you daddy, for coming out

I thank you people, for coming out

Cause somewhere along the line, everyone will want to shout



I want to shout

Shout about my troubles

I want to shout

Shout about my troubles

Like you Ive paid the dues

And Ive got double trouble



Come on, lets stay happy

Come on, clap, lets stay happy

Lets sing the happy blues

No more sad dues





I am happy you are happy too

I am happy you are happy too

So lets go out with the blues thats swinging



Like count basie, swing on

Like count basie, swing on

Like count basie, swing on

Like count basie, swing on

Swing on, swing out tonight
