I hate the blues
I hate the blues
Play me something I can cloud nine to
'Cause I hate the blues
Crank it up
And give it to me funky
Leave them blues alone
I've been in the mood for something optimistic
We've been down too long
Happy songs
We all need 'em
We've been down too long
Happy, happy songs
You can't beat 'em
Make somebody want to sing along
Sing along
I hate the blues, don't you?
I hate the blues
Play me something I can cloud nine to
I'm sick and tired of the blues
I'm tired of rain songs and pain songs
And blow out your brain songs
And songs about going to lose
I hate broken heart songs and torn apart songs
And fell off the chart songs
I just ain't in the mood
I hate the blues
Yes, I hate the blues
So come on boys and play a good time song
Hey, give me something we could cloud nine on
Kinda makes you want to sing along like
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned, ooh, hoo, hoo
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned, ooh, hoo, hoo
Let's go get stoned
You know my baby, she won't let me in
I gotta few pennies, think I'll buy myself a bottle of gin
Then I'm gonna call up my buddies on the telephone and say
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned, ooh, hoo, hoo
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned, ooh, hoo, hoo
Let's go get stoned
Ain't no harm, take a little taste
Just don't lose your cool and start messin' up the man's place
Ain't no harm, take a little nip
Just don't fall down and bust your lip
Let's go get stoned, ooh, hoo, hoo
Let's go get stoned, ooh yeah
Let's go get stoned, ooh, hoo, hoo
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned, ooh, hoo, hoo
Let's go get stoned
You know I work so hard all day long
Seem like everything I try to do
Always turns out wrong
That's why I wanna stop by on my way home and say
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned, ooh, hoo, hoo
Let's go get stoned
Let's go get stoned, ooh, hoo, hoo
Let's go get stoned
