Want you to hear me when I say
  that the blues is back,
  and it's here to stay.
    I wanna tell you a story,
  a story all about the blues.
  I want you to listen to me baby,
  while I sing it to you.
  Want you to hear me when I say
  that the blues is back,
  and it's here to stay.
    I used to have me somebody,
  she mean't the whole world to me.
  But she left me for someone else,
  left my heart in misery.
  Yes, she did!
  But I knew the day she left me
  that the blues was gonna be a part of me.
  Yes, it was.
    Since you left me with the blues,
  it was the last thing I thought I could use.
  But I'm glad that you left me,
  left me with the blues.
  If you hadn't given me the blues,
  I wouldn't find myself someone sweet as you.
    And I'm gonna tell you.
  I said hey, hey, the blues is allright.
  Hey, hey, the blues is allright.
  I said hey, hey, the blues is allright.
  Hey, hey, the blues is allright.
  Allright , allright
  Allright , allright
  every day and night.
    Here we go Albert!
  One more time!
