Weird Al Yankovic - Generic Blues Lyrics
I woke up this morning
Then I went back to bed
Said I woke up this morning
Then I went right back to bed
Got a funny kind of feelin' like I got broken glass in my underwear
You know what I'm sayin'
Well I ain't got not money
I'm just walkin' down the road
Said I ain't got no money, honey
So I'm just walking down this lonely old road
Well, I wish I could get me some money
But I forgot my automated teller code
I was born in a paper sack in the bottom of a sewer
My daddy was a waitress, my mama sold bathroom tiles
My brothers and sisters all hated me 'cause I was an only child
I got the blues so bad, woo
Kinda wish I was dead
Maybe I'll blow my brains out mama
Or maybe I'll, yeah maybe I'll just go bowlin' instead
I'm just a no good, scum sucking, nose picking, boot licking, sniveling, groveling, worthless hunk of slime
Nothing but a low-down beer bellied, bone headed, pigeon toed, turkey necked, weasle faced, worthless hunk of slime
Guess I pretty low self image
Maybe it's a chemical imbalance or something -- I
I should probably go and see a doctor about it when I've got the time
Make it talk
Aw, make it talk, son, make it talk
OK, now make it shut up
Plagues and famine and pestilence always seem to get me down
I always feel so miserable whenever I'm around
I wish somebody would come along, stick a pitchfork through my brain
I'd flush myself right down the toilet, but I'd just clog up the drain
I got the blues so bad
Kinda wish I was dead
Maybe I'll blow my brains out mama
Or maybe I'll go bowling
Or I just might go bowling
Maybe I'll just rent some shoes and go bowling
Maybe I'll join a league, enter a tournament, put on a stupid looking
shirt and go bowling instead
Yeah

My Daddy was a waitress and my Momma sold bathroom tile
Anyone Happy! Sy-Fy?
"I'd flush myself right down the toilet, but I'd Just clog up the drain!" So awesome.
r/2meirl4meirl oh wait, wrong website...
This becomes quite the jaunty little tune if you kick the playspeed up to x2.
5 people have broken glass in their underwear.
I know exactly what he's talking about.
I'd pay good money to see Al play this at his 2018 concert in CT!!!
This song never fails to make me laugh
I think all us guys have had that "broken glass in my underwear" feeling from time to time, but Al is the first to put a name to the condition.
"I was born in a paper sack, at the bottom of a sewer." Lyrical Wow.
BB King himself called this one of the greatest blues songs of all time.
James Espey
Harry Potter Fan?
Make it talk! Make that guitar talk and wail!
It's depressing this doesn't have more views. The guitar just kills me... check out whatever the guitar player is doing @1:25. This is one of my favorite originals from Al, and I think the UHF album is an underrated classic.
I was thinking the same thing. This track especially is hilarious. And it's really well written too, which makes it even funnier to think they put so much time and effort into a joke song. Love Weird Al.
Well Said!!! My sentiments exactly. This is a hilarious song & a classic funny album. It's my favorite Weird Al album that I've heard so far! Thanks for pointing out that guitar moment.
Oh Yeah! I 2nd your comments! You put it perfectly!
At 1:25 the guitar player is droning a single note...
Perhaps instead you meant the harmonica, which does some pretty neat stuff right there, although it particularly struck me because it seemed rather un-bluesy.
Agreed!!!!!
I like all the Monty Python Quotes.
Thanks for the insight. I haven't seen much Monty Python yet but I want to & it will be fun to come across Weird Al's references to them. I know he's a huge fan of them.
Make it shut up!
The Eagle's Hotel California? Metallica's One? Bela Fleck's Bil Mon? Meshuggah's Neurotica? Pfsssh! Please... Generic Blues has the greatest guitar solo of all time.
OK now make it shut up
"My brothers and siters hated me because I was an only child" Al's high again!
This is the entire blues genre in one song. Amazing.
sometimes I feel the same way (LOL)
Play it at least once, in honor of BB King's passing.
ahhhh Darude - Dandstorm what a great track you are
no comments?????
But no dislikes ;)
