Woke up this morning, went back to sleep
'Cause no one's waiting, got no promises to keep
My baby left me, but that's OK
So many babies on this planet anyway

Hip hip hooray
Ba-ba-ba-blues is dead
Hip hip hooray
Ba-ba-ba-blues is dead, yeah

I keep on spending, but I, I won't get poor
To every illness in this land there is a cure
I won't be howling, I'm having fun
I got 99 solutions and the blues got none

Hip hip hooray
Ba-ba-ba-blues is dead
Hip hip hooray
Ba-ba-ba-blues is dead

No, I won't howl
I will relax
Put on the heat, enjoy a drink and pay my taxes

Hip hip hooray
Ba-ba-ba-blues is dead
Hip hip hooray
Ba-ba-ba-blues is dead, ah-ha

Hip hip hooray
Ba-ba-ba-blues is dead
Hip hip hooray
Ba-ba-ba-blues is dead

Hip hip hooray
Ba-blues is dead...
