We Cant Sing Rhythm And Blues

A   D7   A   D7


[Verse 1]
A                                  
We can sing a melody that's pretty,
A7

D            D7                 
Or a line of Hammerstein that's 
A
witty.
               E7
But here's the sad, sad news:
                         A      D7
We can't sing rhythm and blues.


[Verse 2]
A                            
When we hear a rock n' rollin' 
         A7
rhythm,
Continues after the ad
D                D7               
We would like to rock and roll it 
A
with 'em.
              E7
We're wearing blue suede shoes,
                          A      A7
But can't sing rhythm and blues.


[Bridge]
    D                        
The moan and groan of a tenor 
              A             A7
saxophone is grand, really grand.
             D                  
And when the man who plays piano 
          B7
takes command,
       E7
how we love the repetition of a 
rockin' composition.


[Verse 3]
     A                         
But, we are up a tree and can't 
           A7
ignore it.
    D               D7            
You see, we haven't got the voices
     A
 for it.
           E7
It's awful sad, sad, news.
                         A      A7
We can't sing rhythm and blues.
       E7
Mighty sad, sad, news.
                         A     D7 
We can't sing rhythm and blues.
