I HATE THE BLUES      I hate the blues   I hate the blues   Play me something I can cloud 9 to   'Cause I hate the blues      Crank it up   And give it to me funky   Leave them blues alone   Have me in mood for something optimistic   We've been down too long      Have the songs   We all need them   We've been down too long   Happy, happy songs   You can't beat them   Make somebody want to sing along   (Sing along)      I hate the blues   I hate the blues   Play me something I can cloud 9 to    I'm sick and tired of the blues      1st. guitar solo ;   2nd. guitar solo ;      I've tried rain songs   And pain songs   And blow out of your brain songs   And songs about how to lose    I hate broken heart songs   And torned apart songs    And put that off the chart songs    I'll just stay in the nude.      I hate the blues   Yes, I hate the blues   So come on boys   And play a good time song   Hey give me something we can cloud 9 to   Cloudin` makes you want to sing along.   I hate the blues
