Well, I woke up in the morning
And the sun streamed in the room,
I wish I’d had the curtains closed
I sleep better in the gloom.
I’ve got the blues.
I’ve got those half asleep blues.
I’m tired right through the daytime.
I’ve got the whole day blues!
So I got up and I drank some tea,
To make me feel awake,
But I hadn’t switched the kettle on
And that was my first mistake.
I’ve got the blues.
I’ve got those half asleep blues.
I’m tired right through the daytime.
I’ve got the whole day blues!
Then by the time I started work
I thought I was okay,
Till I signed an email with a kiss
And sent it on its way.
I’ve got the blues.
I’ve got those half asleep blues.
I’m tired right through the daytime.
I’ve got the whole day blues!
By lunchtime I was wide awake,
My mind was free of doubt,
But it turns out that my cardigan
Had been on inside out.
I’ve got the blues.
I’ve got those half asleep blues.
I’m tired right through the daytime.
I’ve got the whole day blues!
And when the day was over
And I got back in my bed,
I couldn’t get to sleep with all
The things stuck in my head.
I’ve got the blues.
I’ve got those wide awake blues.
Keep wakin’ in the night time.
I’ve got the whole day blues!
