From the album 20th Century Blues - The Songs of Noel Coward

|
Twentieth century blues are getting me down
|
Blues, escape those dreary twentieth century blues
|
Why, if there's a god in the sky, why shouldn't he grin
|
High above this dreary twentieth century din
|
|
In this strange illusion, chaos and confusion
|
People seem to lose their way
|
What is there to strive for, love or keep alive for
|
Say, Hey hey, call it a day
|
|
Blues, nothing to win or to lose, it's getting me down
|
Blues, escape those weary twentieth century blues
|
|
Why is it that civilized humanity can make this world so wrong
|
In this hurly-burly of insanity, our dreams cannot last long
|
We've reached a deadline, a press headline, every sorrow
|
