Stanshall I was lying in my bed, pull the silken sheets up tight I gotta keep me strength up, gotta do a show tonight. I have a sip of coffee while I'm taking in the news, Don't need to have a shave 'cause I gotta sing the blues Oh shit man. Then I think I'll get a massage, maybe, lose a little fat, So I have to go downtown in my brand-new Cadillac, My valet comes and dresses me, I light a big cigar, Cos' I like to look like Nimrod when I'm riding in my car. Can blue men sing the whites? Or are they hypocrites for singing: Whooo ooo oooH, And now it's getting near the time I gotta make the scene, I change out my dark-grey mohair suit, pull on my dirty jeans, The band comes round to pick me up, I holler: "Hello boys, I gotta mess my hair up and gotta make some noise." Can blue men sing the whites? Or are they hypocrites for singing: Whooo ooo oooH, Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to do you a little number now that's been very lucky for us from during the depression when everybody was very depressed. O Lordy, In dem cotton fields, O Mama, I mean it Somebody help me, Tell me like it was, Bugga-boo, buggaaah-whoo-oo
