The Blues Are Brewin'
The Manhattan Transfer

When the moon's kinda dreamy starry eyed and creamy

And nights are luscious and long

If you're kinda lonely and all by your only

Then nothin' but the blues are brewin', the blues are brewin'


When the wind through the willows blows across your pillow

And tells you sleepin' is wrong

If love goes a thirstin' till you feel like burstin'

Then nothing but the blues are brewin', the blues are brewin'


Suppose you want somebody but you ain't got nobody

You only get a gleam in your eyes

Till somebody's found you and put their lovin' arms around you

You've got the feelin' you want to die


But when the Lord up above you send's someone to love you

The blues are something you lose

'Cause you're so busy doing the things that you're doing

That love ain't got no time for brewin'

No time for brewin' the blues, no time


Starry eyed and creamy ooh, luscious and long


If you're lonely baby

Nothin' but the blues are brewin', the blues are brewin', yeah


Suppose you want somebody but you ain't got nobody

You only get a gleam in your eyes

Till somebody's found you and put their lovin' arms around you

You've got the feelin' you want to die


But when the Lord up above you send's someone to love you

The blues are something you lose

'Cause you're so busy doing the lovely things that you're doing

That love ain't got no time for brewin'

Ain't got no time for brewin' the blues


Woah baby, you no I ain't got no time for the blues, no no no no

I ain't got no time for the blues, no time, no time, no time

Love ain't got no time, love ain't got no time

No time at all, no time for the blues, no time, no time

Love ain't got no time for the blues, love ain't got no time for the blues
