Brickyard Blues - Allen 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 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
