Well, I tried to run my game, she said
"Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show
(Again and again)
And she started to explain, she said
"Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin'
Just can't make it, but I just can't take it anymore"
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some brickyard blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some brickyard blues
Well, I started to sweat, she said
"Don't get upset 'cause you just might break a string
And that won't do a thing for your showâ€
So I said to myself, I said
"Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?â€
And I gotta have some more, don't ya know
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some brickyard blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some brickyard blues
It's enough to make it light in the dark
It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a dog
Play somethin' sweet
