[Verse 1]
Got me the strangest woman
Believe me this trick's no cinch
But I really get her going
When I whip out my big 10 inch
[Chorus]
Record of a band that plays the blues

Record of her favorite blues

Record of a band that plays the blues

Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues

[Chorus]
Record of a band that plays the blues
Band that plays the blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues
