The Pinks
[Verse 1]
My Mary-Lou came back to me on Tuesday
She says she’s given up her old hijinks
She said I was her good old boy
And my old heart heart swelled up with joy
Sometimes even bluesmen get the pinks
On Wednesday my old hunting dog had puppies
We kept one and we called her Li'l Minx
She sleeps curled up in my old boot
And there she looks so go'darn cute
She’s sure not helping shift those pesky pinks

[Chorus]
I’ve got those pinks, damn pinks
I’ve got those pinks so bad
I mean so good, so good
The best I’ve ever had
But I gotta sing the blues
‘Cause my baby needs new shoes
I guess that I’ve got those
I ain’t got the blues, now, pinks
[Verse 2]
I used to be on every list of bluesmen
They loved those songs about how my life stinks
But these days I get missed right out
Because I’m always blissed right out
Sometimes even bluesmen get the pinks

[Chorus]
I’ve got those pinks, damn pinks
I’ve got those pinks so bad
I mean so good, so good
The best I’ve ever had
I’ve never been so content
But that sure won’t pay the rent
I guess that I’ve got those
I ain’t got the blues, now...pinks
Yeah
