Celebration Blues - Lyric

Copyright © 2009 David Kempton



Blues can make you happy, Blues can make you sad,
Blues can make a grown man cry, or make his heart feel glad.
There's the blues when you lose, that's just paying your dues,
but the grin when you win, though you're guilty as sin,
All Right! Celebration Blues

Blues can tell a story, or blues can tell a lie,
Blues can bring a grown man down, or make a young girl high.
There's the song when you're wrong or you came on too strong,
But the tune that you croon on your third honeymoon,
All Right! Celebration Blues

Come on, join the party. Have yourself some fun.
Celebrate the best of times until the rising sun.

Blues can bring you good times, or blues can bring you pain.
Blues can sell a grown man's soul, or buy it back again.
There's the shout that you spout just before you wipe out,
But the chance of a glance that invites a romance,
All Right! Celebration Blues. (solos)

There's the blues when you lose, that's just paying your dues,
But the feeling is real when you know it's a steal,
All Right! Celebration Blues.

Celebration Blues, Celebrate the Blu-u-ues.
Celebration Blues Celebrate the Blu-u-ues.
Celebration Blues Celebrate the Blu-u-ues.
Celebration Blues Celebrate the Blu-u-ues.

Blues can keep you busy, or leave you on the shelf,
Blues can make a grown man groan, or help you heal yourself,
There's the theme that you scream 'cause it all was a dream,
But the few that come true change your whole point of view,
All Right! Celebration Blues.

Celebration Blues, Celebrate the Blu-u-ues.
Celebration Blues Celebrate the Blu-u-ues.
