Blueberries For Breakfast 
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas



Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon... 
Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon 
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon... 

Drive you to the airport; wait `til it's time to go
I've checked the weather report; they say it will not snow 
And all the planes can come and go
But I think the ceiling is too low 
So you can't go

Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon...

[?] New York fire [?]
Burning just a little too bright
Manhattan firefly, never make it through the night
Somehow she came out alright
Through the darkness, see her light shining bright

Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon...

I'm gonna have to call the cops, if you don't leave me alone
Stop waiting at the bus stop, trying to walk me home
The FBI, the CIA, you know they'll never leave you alone
And I will cut you to the bone

Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon... 
Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon 
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon

Bluebell
Composer(s): Jerry Livingston; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Mitch Miller; Scott Walker



Don't be blue, my pretty Blue Bell
Don't you fret, although you know that we must part
Don't be blue, my pretty Blue Bell
You will always be the flower of my heart

And all the way to Albuquerque
I'll be feelin' mighty perky
Knowin' that I've got a gal so true

And if you save up all your kisses
I will change your name to Missus
On the day that I come back to you

Wait for me, my pretty Blue Bell
Wait for me, although you know that we must part
Wedding bells, my pretty Blue Bell
Will be ringing for the flower of my heart
Of my heart, of my heart

Oh, don't be blue, my pretty Blue Bell
Oh, don't be blue, blue, Blue Bell
Oh, don't be blue, my pretty Blue Bell
Blue Bell, blue

And all the way to Albuquerque
I'll be feelin' mighty perky
Knowin' that I've got a gal so true

And if you save up on your kisses
I will change your name to Missus
On the day that I come back to you

Wait for me, my pretty Blue Bell
Wait for me, although you know that we must part
Wedding bells, my pretty Blue Bell
Will be ringing for the flower of my heart
Of my heart, of my heart
Flower of my heart

Groundhog Rootin' In My Backyard (aka Blue Yodel No. 10)
Composer(s): Jimmie Rodgers
Performer(s): Jimmie Rodgers; Hank Snow



Something about you mama that sure gives me the blues
Something about you mama that sure gives me the blues
It ain't your drop stich stockings it ain't your blue buckle shoes
You know pretty mama I'm bound to love you some
You know pretty mama I'm bound to love you some
'Cause I've done more for you than anybody ever done you know it baby

Got me a pretty mama got me a bulldog too
Got me a pretty mama got me a bulldog too
My pretty mama don't love me but my bulldog do

There's been a groundhog rootin' round my yard at night
There's been a groundhog rootin' round my yard at night
For the way my mama been treatin' me he must be rootin' all right
Lord honey must be rootin' all right
Well I ain't no cheap man don't try to fool no girls
I ain't no cheap man don't try to fool no girls
It's my regular lovin' that gets me by in this world

Blue Wing
Composer(s): Tom Russell
Performer(s): Tom Russell
and various other artists



He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder
Well it might have been a blue bird I don't know
But he'd get stone drunk and talk about Alaska
The salmon boats and 45 below

He said he got that blue wing up in Walla Walla
And his cellmate there was Little Willy John
And Willy he was once a great blues singer
And Wing and Willy wrote 'em up a song 
They said...

Chorus:
It's dark in here; can't see the sky
But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes
And I fly away beyond these walls
Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall
On a poor man's dream

They paroled Blue Wing in August, of 1963
He moved north picking apples to the town of Wenatchee
Then winter finally caught him in a run down trailer park
On the south side of Seattle where the days grow gray and dark

And he drank and he dreamt of visions
when the salmon still ran free
And his fathers' fathers crossed that wild old Bering Sea
And the land belonged to everyone and
there were old songs yet to sing
Now it's narrowed down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing

Chorus

Well he drank his way to LA, and that's where he died
And no one knew his Christian name and
there was no one there to cry
But I dreamt there was a funeral, a preacher and a cheap pine box
And half way through the service, Blue
Wing began to talk 
He said...

Chorus

Hey hey, On a poor man's dream
Hey hey, On a poor man's dream

Blue Velvet
Dutch Title: Diep In Jouw Ogen
Composer(s): Bernie Wayne; Lee Morris
Originally performed by: Tony Bennett
Covered by various other artists



She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow of
Blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears

Blue Turning Grey Over You
Composer(s): Andy Razaf; Fats Waller
Originally performed by: Louis Armstrong
Covered by various other artists



What will I do at sundown
What will I do at dawn
What will I do at noontime
Now that I've found you gone?

What will I do for sunshine
With nothing but the rain?
How can I smile
Find life worth while
With a heart that's filled with pain?

My, how I miss
Your tender kiss
And the wonderful things you would do
I run my hands
Thru' sil'vry strands
'Cause I'm blue, turning grey over you

Well, you used to be
So good to me
That's when I was a novelty
Now you have new thrills in view
Found someone new
Left me blue, turning grey over you

I said, how can I smile
Find life worth while
With a heart that's filled with pain?

You used to be
So good to me
That's when I was a novelty
Well, now you have found some new thrills to view
And some new buddy friends and I don't know what to do
Because I'm blue, turning grey over you

Yeh, come on, hit me, daddy, hit me
Let me hear it one time!
Oh yeah

Ba-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-so-so-so-so
Ba-sa-sa-sa-sa-dootsie-dootise-doo

I just lost myself there, child, ha! Ha! Ha!

Blue Valentine
Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Long John Baldry Trio; Sarah Jane Morris



She sends me blue valentines
All the way from Philadelphia
To mark the anniversary
Of someone that I used to be
And it feels just like there's
A warrant out for my arrest
Got me checkin' in my rearview mirror
And I'm always on the run
That's why I changed my name
And I didn't think you'd ever find me here

To send me blue valentines
Like half forgotten dreams
Like a pebble in my shoe
As I walk these streets
And the ghost of your memory
Is the thistle in the kiss
And the burgler that can break a rose's neck
It's the tatooed broken promise
That I hide beneath my sleeve
And I see you every time I turn my back

She sends me blue valentines
Though I try to remain at large
They're insisting that our love
Must have a eulogy
Why do I save all of this madness
In the nightstand drawer
There to haunt upon my shoulders
Baby I know
I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
With a blind and broken heart
That sleeps beneath my lapel

She sends me my blue valentines
To remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt
Or get these bloodstains off my hands
And it takes a lot of whiskey
To take these nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin' heart out every nite
And I die a little more on each St. Valentine's day
Remember that I promised I would
Write you...
These blue valentines
blue valentines
blue valentines

Blue Tango
Composer(s): Leroy Anderson; Mitchell Parrish
Originally performed by: Leroy Anderson - 1952
Covered by various other artists



Here am I with you
In a world of blue
While we're dancing to
The tango we loved when first we met
While the music plays
I recall the days
When our love was a tune that we couldn't soon forget

As I kiss your cheek
We don't have to speak
The violins like a choir
Express the desire we used to know
Not long ago
So just hold me tight
In your arms tonight
And the blue tango will be
Our thrilling memory of love

As I kiss your cheek
We don't have to speak
The violins like a choir
Express the desire we used to know
Not long ago
So just hold me tight
In your arms tonight
And the blue tango will be
Our thrilling memory of love

Originally performed by: Carl Perkins
Covered by various other artists



Well it's one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go cat go

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well you can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you want to do but lay off of my shoes

And don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes

Well blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
You can do anything but stay off of my blue suede, play it again

Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Blue, blue, blue suede
You can do anything but stay off of my blue suede shoes

Blue Suede Schubert

Well you can take it any way you want
You can shake it till it's back to front
You can rock it till it's inside out
Let me tell you what it's all about
It's a rock 'n roll symphony
and it's gonna be the death of me
They call me Blue Suede Schubert
The king of the bop
Blue Suede Schubert
I just can't stop
When I get that beat
my music is complete
Ow!

Well, it's crazy but you know it's true
You gotta do what you gotta do
And I'm gonna have to sing my song
while the back beat's going strong
Everybody rock 'n roll 'n more
even rolling all around the floor

They call me Blue Suede Schubert
The king of the bop
Blue Suede Schubert
I just can't stop
When I hear that drum
I'm gonna blow to kingdom come

They call me Blue Suede Schubert
The king of the bop
Blue Suede Schubert

When I get that beat
my music is complete

Blue Street
Composer(s): Randy Edelman
Originally performed by: Randy Edelman
Covered by: Jackie DeShannon



It's funny how our lives are like a prize fight
One day you're up and then you get knocked down
But I have learned the hurt can end
We can come up smelling like a rose again

Blue Street is a place that's in my past now
A few blocks down, but not too far away
It's time to take another turn
Go to a place where memories won't burn

'Cause there's a signpost hanging over the horizon
Waiting for me like an open door
I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more
I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more

I'm walking down the Avenue of Peace, now
I'm not swaying from the course I take
Lilywhite the flowers bloom
The sun is guiding every move I make

I'm not thinking of that old and lonesome Blue Street
It's a few blocks down, but not too far away
Time has come to take another turn
And leave her in the past to die and burn

'Cause there's a signpost hanging over the horizon
Waiting for me like an open door
I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more
And I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more
And I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more

Blue Star 
Performer(s): Cyril Stapleton



Blue star, when I am blue, all I do is look at you
For I seem to find peace of mind and I never get lonely
When you shine from afar

With you away up there, I don’t dare to have a care
For I want to show that your glow lets me know 
That you know that I’m not blue, blue star

Blue Snowfall
Composer(s): Dave Coleman
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan;
George Morgan; Dorothy Squires



It's a blue snowfall
For you're not here with me
It's a blue snowfall
Through tear filled eyes I see

In a blue evening
How slow they always go
It's a blue evening
Because I miss you so

Snow bends the willow tree
Where we made a vow
My arms held you close to me
Where are you now

In these blue moments
I'm wondering if you
See the blue snowfall
And if you miss me too...

Blue Sky Mine
Composer(s): Peter Garrett; Dwayne "Bones" Hillman;
Rob Hirst; Jim Moginie; Martin Rotsey
Performer(s): Midnight Oil



Hey, hey-hey hey
There'll be food on the table tonight
Hey, hey, hey hey
There'll be pay in your pocket tonight

My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken
A life that is led is no more than a token
Who'll strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why
If I yell out at night there's a reply of bruised silence
The screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence
They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why

But if I work all day at the blue sky mine
(There'll be food on the table tonight)
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)

The candy store paupers lie to the share holders
They're crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
So I'm caught at the junction still waiting for medicine
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue
If the sugar refining company won't save me
Who's gonna save me?

But if I work all day...

And some have sailed from a distant shore
And the company takes what the company wants
And nothing's as precious, as a hole in the ground

Who's gonna save me?
I pray that sense and reason brings us in
Who's gonna save me?
We've got nothing to fear

In the end the rain comes down
Washes clean, the streets of a blue sky town

Blue Sky
Composer(s): Dickey Betts
Originally performed by: The Allman Brothers Band



Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing
It don't worry 'bout where it's going, no, no
Don't fly, mister blue bird, I'm just walking down the road
Early morning sunshine tell me all I need to know

Chorus
You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day
Lord, you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way
Turn your love my way, yeah

Good old sunday morning, bells are ringing everywhere
Goin to Carolina, it won't be long and I'll be there

Chorus

Blue Skirt Waltz
Composer(s): Vaclav Blaha; Mitchell Parish
Performer(s): Frankie Yankovic
and various other artists



I wandered alone one night
till I heard and orchestra play
I met you what lights were bright
and people were care-free and guy
You were the beautiful lady in blue
I was in heaven just waltzing with you
You thrilled me with strange delight
then softly you stole away

Chorus:
I dream of that night with you
Lady when first we met
We danced in a world of blue
How can my heart forget
Blue were the skies
and blue were your eyes
just like the blue skirt you wore
Come back blue lady, come back
Don't be blue any more

Blue Skies
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Originally performed by: Belle Baker
Covered by various other artists



Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
(Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see)

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Nothin' but blue skies from now on

Blue Side Of Lonesome
Composer(s): Leon Payne
Performer(s): Jim Reeves
and various other artists



I'm calling' to tell you it's over
Yes, darling you're now free to go
You're saying' you're sorry you hurt me
But you've hurt me much more than you know

You're asking' me where this call comes from
Oh, I hope that you won't end up here
If your new romance turns out a failure
Here's where to find me, my dear

Chorus: 
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops
On a bar stool, not doing' so well

The floor has a carpet of sorrow
But no one can weep in the aisle
And they say someone broke the bar mirror
With only the ghost of a smile

The hands on the clock never alter
For things never change in this place
There's no present, no past, no future
We're the ones who have lost in love's race

Chorus

Blue Serenade
Composer(s): Tim Hauser; Parks
Performer(s): The Manhattan Transfer



Hot to trot shot
Out to the hot spot
Up to the nines with bodies in line
An’ feelin’ so fine
What’s to lose, go get ‘em shoes

You take a train, you find a
Fascinatin’ rhythm in the rain
At every stop,
You hear the clippin’ and the clop

You take a beat, you find a
Fascinatin’ rhythm in your feet
It’s so complete and you know
Nothin’ can compete

(you ain’t seen nothin’, you ain’t seen nothin’ - yet!)

You start to palpitate and the
Jeep is shakin’ the snake
Like a man upon the move for a
Doll who doesn’t hesitate
Bad john
You hear the sound of a sad song

And when the downtown folk
All shake it on out tonite
Jeep is jake and rakin’ in the take
Bad john
You are back where you belong

She’s such a sight tonite (hello)
A caribana with a fan a top banana
In a blue savanna moon
A neck in neck
You tell her darlin’ get the check
You’re all electric
Up in harlem in a swoon
Another dance with a with a tropical fan
Another chance with
The topical tan

Mean swimmin’ saxophones
Takin’ in the wimmin’ and
Shakin’ them bones
The goat get in the fete begin
Naughty in the body and set for sin
A creole girl step up and say
Never say never
With a casual sway
Takin’ her time to come my way
Bad john
You are back where you belong

All reet I’m tippin’ in, deed I do
And while the goat is on the fire
And every note is your desire
You approve her every move
You in a spin (come on in)
She wanna grab you by the duff
And tell you
Honey this is tough enough
For sure
There’s the door
What are you waiting for?
And just us two
Serenading in blue

You take a frail who makes a
Copesetic caper with her tail
I’m tellin’ you, she really
Puttin’ on a do

The saxophones, you can’t relax
When there is rhythm in your bones
You’re on the hoof,
You raise a racket on the roof

Some syncopation, makin’ with the
Eyes an arisin’ occasion
Made it in the shade the way they
Played that satin serenade in blue

Blue Sand
Composer(s): Jerry Byrd
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



Blue sand, you left my island
Now I hold in my hand
This blue, blue sand

Blue sea, that took you from me
We sigh and we're lonely
The sea and me

Will you remember
Our moonlight swims at sea
We laughed together
You gave your love to me

And now there'll be blue days
I'll wear a blue lei
Till we meet again someday
On blue, blue sand

Will you remember
Our moonlight swims at sea
We laughed together
You gave your love to me

And now there'll be blue days
I'll wear a blue lei
Till we meet again someday
On blue, blue sand
