Blue Piano

I've got a blue piano,
I've got a dog named Blue,
I sing the blues all evening,
I got nothing better to do.

Move to a house in the country,
Paint my mailbox blue,
But I don't get no letters,
Just bills overdue.

(Bridge) But in the morning
when the sun comes shining,
I've got a rainbow on my floor,
then evening comes,
and those colors fade,
and the blues knock on my door.

I've got a blue kimono,
Blues all through my head,
I sing the blues all evening,
Then I take the blues . . .
take the blues to bed.
