Small children pound Babe's blues around Blues made them cry Unlike adults Have fewer faults And as a rule They're pretty cool They meet blues They greet blues Then beat blues Kids take a fall But like a ball Bounce up again They'll shed a tear Too full of fear They're not afraid They've got it made Kids meet blues Then greet blues And beat blues Small girls and boys Treat blues as toys Like in a game Blues come their way Most every day Kids let them in Don't let them win Kids make blues Then fake blues Then shake blues (24 bars scat) (24 bars horn solo) We tiny todds Scat blues a lot But never grieve Kids in the know When feeling low Cries blues away Don't let them stay Kids spy blues Kids eye blues Goodbye blues Kids make blues Then fake blues Then shake blues Kids make blues Then fake blues Then shake blues
