Teachin' a Class on the Blues

from Hot Guitar by Oven Mitt Johnson

lyrics

I’m teachin’ a class on the blues down there at my local liquor store.
I’m teachin’ a class on the blues down there at my local liquor store.
You wanna know about the blues, well I’ll meet you at my local liquor store.

Now you see just how the blues is, and it only takes a day.
You’ll see just how the blues is, and it only takes a day.
My lesson’s always free if you just do what I say.

The first thing you gotta do is buy me a pint of gin.
The first thing you gotta do is buy me a pint of gin.
And when I’m good and ready, Dr. Oven Mitt will jump right in.

Now the next thing you gotta do is buy me a bottle of Scotch.
(and I don’t want no cheap shit either)
Said the next thing you gotta do is buy me a bottle of Scotch.
You don’t get to drink none, you just gotta stand around and watch.

The third thing you gotta do is get me a fancy cigar.
The third thing you gotta do is get me a fancy cigar.
Now I’m standin’ there with my stuff and you know where you are.

Now you know about the blues, and you learned it all from Oven Mitt.
Now you know about the blues, and you learned it all from Oven Mitt.
Oven Mitt’s got the finest things and you aint got shit.

Yeah, that’s right!
I can teach this class at the car dealer too.
Or the furniture store. There’s some things I need from down there.
