Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)

Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show
And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't saying what you're playing just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"

Play something sweet, play something mellow
Play something I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play something sweet, now make it funky
Just make me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Well, I started to sweat
She said "Don't get upset 'cause you just might break a string
And that won't do a thing for your show, don't you know"
So I said to myself
I said "Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?"
And I gotta have some more, don't you know

Play something sweet, play something mellow
Play something I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play something sweet, now make it funky
Just make me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Well, well, well
It's enough to make a light in the dark
It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a bulldog hug a hound

Play something sweet, play something mellow
Play something I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play something sweet, now make it funky
Just make me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
All right
