February Blues

February Blues

 

I’ve got those February blues.

The rain and the floods.

And the mud and the ooze.

I’m standing in snow

All over my shoes.

I’ve got those February blues.

 

I’ve got those February blues.

I’m dodging the Spanish

And Chinese flues.

I’d dose myself up,

But I’ve run out of booze.

I’ve got those February blues.

 

I’ve got those February blues.

A valentine’s landed.

Now that is good news.

Inside are two tickets

To go on a cruise.

Farewell to those February blues.
