Tom: A
A D7 A D7
[Verse 1]
A A7
We can sing a melody that's pretty,
D D7 A
Or a line of Hammerstein that's witty.
E7
But here's the sad, sad news:
A D7
We can't sing rhythm and blues.
[Verse 2]
A A7
When we hear a rock n' rollin' rhythm,
D D7 A
We would like to rock and roll it with 'em.
E7
We're wearing blue suede shoes,
A A7
But can't sing rhythm and blues.
[Bridge]
D A A7
The moan and groan of a tenor saxophone is grand, really grand.
D B7
And when the man who plays piano takes command,
E7
how we love the repetition of a rockin' composition.
[Verse 3]
A A7
But, we are up a tree and can't ignore it.
D D7 A
You see, we haven't got the voices for it.
E7
It's awful sad, sad, news.
A A7
We can't sing rhythm and blues.
E7
Mighty sad, sad, news.
A D7 A
We can't sing rhythm and blues.
