What's a blue man gonna do
  when he collects the whole set of the blues
  he can't move,
  he can't shake his slump
  a blue man says bumpity bump
  
  Hey, bumpity bump
  my heart hurts like a drum
  
  What's a man,
  what's a blue man gonna do
  when he knows the truth of the blues
  he can't find the world a satisfyin' place
  he can't even face his own face
  
  Why do I hurt like a drum?
  my heart says bumpity bump
  
  A blue man
  what's he got to do,
  go to sleep to evade the blues?
  they might follow him right into his dreams
  they might corner him and make him scream
  
  Why do I feel like a bomb?
  my heart says bumpity bump
  
  Hey, what's a blue man say
  when he's got to wake up
  to another blue day
  Oh, and nothing is right
  and he's got no disguise
  Who knows, maybe he woke up
  in a different guy
  
  Why do I feel like a bomb?
  my heart hurts like a drum, why?
  my heart says bumpity bump
