Got no dime in my pocket, got no penny in my purse
Got no dime in my pocket, but things could be much worse
Yet this leaves me with no bruise
I'm addicted to the blues
Got no stylish motorcar, takin' me from here to there
Got no stylish motorcar, music take me anywhere
Got no fancy blue suede shoes
I'm addicted to the blues
Got no slick folks onboard, on no sailboat on no sea
Got no slick folks onboard, s'not my kind of company
I'm not hooked on any cruise
I'm addicted to the blues
Got no yuppie job in town, and no cracking top-class wage
Got no yuppie job in town, makes me feel like in a cage
Don't need to blow no fuse
I'm addicted to the blues
Got no reason to complain, it's my life after all
Got no reason to complain, you can join and have a ball
Don't need no ill-advised excuse
I'm addicted to the blues
