blow top blues

Singer:etta james

i've got bad news

baby

and you're the first to know

i've got bad news

baby

and you're the first to know

i discovered this morning that my top is about to blow

i've been rocking on my feet

and been talking all out of my head

i've been rocking on my feet

and been talking all out of my head

when i get through talking

don't remember a thing i've said

i used to be a sharpie

always dressed in the latest styles

but now i'm walking down broadway

wearing nothing but a smile

i see all kinds of little men

although they're never there

i tried to push a subway train

poured whiskey in my hair

i'm a gal you can't excuse

i've got those blowtop blues

last night i was five feet tall

today i'm eight feet ten

and every time i fall downstairs

i float right up again

when somebody turned the lights on me it like to drove me blind

and i woke up in bellevue but i've left my mind behind

i'm a gal who blew a fuse

i've got those blowtop blues
