Shaking the Blues Away - Live at Red Hill

[Intro: Presenter]
Welcome to The Red Hill Inn
Right now The Red Hill is proud to present
The swinging Mel Tormé, come on!

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Shakin' the blues away, unhappy news away
If you are blue it's easy to shake off your care and sorrow
Tellin' the blues to go, they may refuse to go
But as a rule they'll go if you shake 'em away

[Pre-Chorus]
Do like the voodoo's do
Listenin' to a voodoo melody
They shake their body so, to and fro
With every shake a lucky break

[Chorus]
Knowin' that there's a way to shake your cares away
If you would lose your weary blues, shake 'em away

[Verse]
Shakin' the blues, unhappy news
If you are blue it's easy to shake your sorrow
Tellin' the blues to go, they may refuse to go
But as a rule they'll go if you'll shake 'em away

[Pre-Chorus]
Do like the voodoo's do
Listenin' to a Ray Charles melody
They shake their body so, to and fro
With every shake a lucky break

[Chorus]
Knowin' that there's a way to shake your cares away
If you would lose your weary blues, shake 'em away

[Outro]
Shake them away
Come on and shake, shake, shake
Shake your blues
Sho-du-ba, diddle, de-ba-de-ba
Du-'n'-doe-ba, do-do, why?
