Daily Blues

The brothers and the sisters

And all of the well wishers

The bastards and the legitimates too

The slow ones and the smart ones

And all of those who own guns

They’re all waiting for their next cue

The pool sharks and the owners

And all who push lawn mowers

The too many and the too few

The lowly and the highly

All of those who follow blindly

They’re all singing the daily blues

                You sing high, you sing low

                You carry on, say land ho

                You do what you do ‘cause you do it so well

               

                You try hard, not so much

                Some say it’s  go, some say it’s touch

                You do what you can ‘cause you got a story to tell

The misters and the misses

And all the little kisses

The spinsters and the bachelors woo

The sinners and the saints

And the ones who say they ain’t

They’re all waiting in the next pew

The slow dogs and the cool cats

And all the hungry street rats

They’re all trying to get a view

The blessed and the meek

The ones who seem so sleek

They’re all singing the daily blues

      You sing high, you sing low

                You carry on, say land ho

                You do what you do ‘cause you do it so well

               

                You try hard, not so much

                Some say it’s go, some say it’s touch

                You do what you can ‘cause you got a story to tell
