(A. Toussaint)

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 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' 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
|
|
It's enough to make it light in 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
