When I was a boy down in South Illinois
I heard a man playing blues what a wonderful noise
He had an old guitar but not a dollar to his name
Making music so sad but he was happy just the same
He gave me a wink and said son let me share the news
If you want a happy life you've got to learn to sing the blues
I asked my daddy for a guitar I begged and I plead
I said I wanted to play the blues and he just nodded his head
Daddy said when he was my age boogy-woogy was the thing
Just take the blues a round trip and add a little swing
Music has the power that without it he'd have sworn that he'd have never had met my mom and I wouldn't have been born
So what's this?
This is psychedelia
It's where the guitar solo came from
No I mean what with all the colors
I have no idea

I kept learning all the powers my guitar had
I made it go walka-walka till it was so good it was bad
Just make a face and stop that face you can make that rhythm pump
So this is the blues just in a way that makes you want to shake your rump
I can make you clap your hands I can make you do a dance
If you want to shake your booty my friend you've got to give the funk a chance

Metal!
Pound your fist in the air!
Metal!
Wave your head full of hair!
It's crunchy and it's nasty full of bad attitude
Your parents will think you're crazy!
Your neighbors will think you're rude!
Believe it or not it's all the blues again!
You just add a little fuss and turn your amp up to ten!
Music has the power to change your life FOREVER!
