[Verse 1]
Well, tell me a joke and make it funny
We'll have a good time, spend my money
Let that lonesome music play
I wanna dance with all the gals
'Cause tonight I’m on the prowl
Drinking my blues away
[Verse 2]
I cried each night since she's been gone
I walk the floor and prayed 'til dawn
Now you see I’m all alone
I’m a-living it up tonight
Pretending everything’s alright
Drinking my blues away
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Tell me a joke and make it funny
We'll have a good time, spend my money
Let that lonesome music play
I wanna dance with all the gals
'Cause tonight I’m on the prowl
Drinking my blues away
[Verse 4]
I cried each night since she's been gone
Walk the floor and prayed 'til dawn
Now you see I’m all alone
So I’m a-living it up tonight
Pretending everything’s alright
Drinking my blues away
[Outro]
Drinking my blues away
