Lyrics:

[Intro:]
It would be better to wake up
and hear the birdies singin',
and the fishes a' swimmin' in the creek
Than to hear the sirens ringin'
My flat's a' shakin' beneath my feet
(flat's shakin' beneath my feet)

I've got the
shaky flat blues
I ain't
got nothin' to lose
So I'll just
pack up my pack and move

I wish I had a
little garden
where I could grow
some food,
and not a backyard
full of garbage
and a head that's
full of blues
Oh, I'd love to
see the sunshine,
I'd love to
see the moon,
not
smog and air pollution,
too many people,
too little room
I've got the
shaky flat blues
I ain't got
nothin' to lose
so I'll just
pack up my pack and move

In the city just listen
Listen! Listen to the horns a' blowin'
Oo oo beep-beep, oo oo beep-beep
It drives me crazy, tell me!
(tell me)
There's a place where corn is growin',
shade trees and cool breeze
and I can just relate
Peaceful days and
quiet nights
away from all the
city lights,
Diesel trucks and
meter maids
Don't forget to
draw your shades
Freeways and buildings
blocking your view,
Nothin' in the paper but bad news
I got the
shaky flat blues
I ain't got
nothing to lose
So I'll just
pack up my pack and move
[Instr.]
Yeah!
In the city just listen
Listen..!
Listen to the horns a' blowin'
Oo oo beep-beep, oo oo beep-beep
It drives me crazy, tell me!
(tell me)
There's a place where
corn is growin',
shade trees and
cool breeze
and I can just relate
Peaceful days and
quiet nights
away from all the
city lights,
Diesel trucks and
meter maids
Don't forget to
draw your shades
Freeways and buildings
blocking your view,
Nothin' in the paper but bad news
La-awd, I've got the
shaky flat blues
I ain't got
nothin' to lose
So I'll just
pack up my pack and move. Yeah!
I've got the
shaky flat blues
I ain't got
nothin' to lose
So I'll just
pack up my pack and move
Yeah! I got the
shaky flat blues
I ain't got nothin'!
nothin' to lose
So I'll just
pack up my pack..
And mo-ove..!
