GREAT COMEBACK Doc!<br />
all I can do is have my memory banks come up with this <br />
Lyrics by Andy Razaf<br />
Music by Thomas "Fats" Waller and Harry Brooks<br />
<br />
Cold, empty bed,<br />
Springs hard as lead,<br />
Pains in my head,<br />
Feel like old Ned.<br />
What did I do <br />
To be so black and blue?<br />
<br />
No joys for me,<br />
No company,<br />
Even the mouse <br />
Ran from my house,<br />
All my life through<br />
I've been so <br />
Black and blue.<br />
<br />
I'm so forlorn,<br />
Life's just a thorn,<br />
My heart is torn,<br />
Why was I born?<br />
What did I do to be so<br />
Black and blue?<br />
<br />
I'm white inside,<br />
But that don't help my case.<br />
'Cause I can't hide <br />
What is on my face,<br />
Oh!<br />
<br />
[Alternative lyrics <br />
for the last verse]<br />
I'm sad inside,<br />
But it don't help my case<br />
'Cause I can't hide<br />
All the sorrow<br />
That's on my face.<br />
"When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do."
William Blake
"To acquire knowledge, one must study;
but to acquire wisdom, one must observe."
