Blues I Love to Sing Lyrics

(Scat)
Play me the blues, boy
That’s the blues I love to hear
Mmmmm, that’s got it
It was a long night
Oh but you’re killing me
Oh, I love it

(Scat singing)
That’s the blues I love to hear
(Scat:) that’s the blues I love to hear

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
