Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)

Well, I tried to run my game

She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"

And I'm too tired to go for your show

(again and again)

And she started to explain

She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it

But I can't take it anymore"

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow

Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello

Play something I can understand

Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky

Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand

Play me some Brickyard Blues

Well, I started to sweat

She said "Don't get upset, 'cause you just might break a string and that won't do a thing

for your show"

So I said to myself

I said, "Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?"

And I gotta have some more, don't ya know

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello

Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello

Play something I can understand

Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky

Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand

Play me some Brickyard Blues

It's enough to make it light the dark

It's enough to make a bite just a bark

It's enough to make a body move around

It's enough to make a rabbit hug a dog

Play somethin' sweet

Well, I tried to run my game

She said, "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before

And I'm too tired to go for your show"

(again and again)

And she started to explain

She said, "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it, but I just can't take it

any more"

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello

Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello

Play something I can understand

Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky

Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand

Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello

Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello

Play something I can understand

Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky

Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand

Play me some Brickyard Blues
