THE BAND'S JUST BOPPIN' THE BLUES

a.k.a. FUNK SAYS RIGHT ON

Version 1

Well its a Sunday night, sitting at the bar all alone
And you're feeling kinda tired
But you're not tired enough to go on home
Well sit back and hang loose, because the band's just boppin' the blues

Well you might dig boogie woogie
Or maybe you like rock and roll
Well I wanna tell you about a music
Saves me right down in my soul
Oh have you heard the news, the band's just boppin' the blues

There still some
Hold on and we'll play you some more
Yeah when my man plays his guitar
The little young girls outnumber you on the floor
Oh sit back and hang loose, because the band's just boppin' the blues

Well its a Sunday night, sitting at the bar all alone
Feeling kinda tired
But you ain't tired enough to go on home
Well buddy hang loose, because the band's just boppin' the blues
