She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
 And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)

 And she started to explain
 She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
 But I just can't take it anymore"

 Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
 Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
 Play something I can understand
 Play me some Brickyard Blues

 Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
 Just let 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

 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 ya know

 Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
 Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
 Play something I can understand
 Play me some Brickyard Blues

 Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
 Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
 Play something I can understand
 Play me some Brickyard Blues

 It's enough to make it 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 rabbit hug a dog
 Play somethin' sweet

 ------ instrumental break ------

 Well, I tried to run my game
 She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
 And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)

 And she started to explain
 She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
 But I just can't take it anymore"

 Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
 Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
 Play something I can understand
 Play me some Brickyard Blues

 Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
 Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
 Play something I can understand
 Play me some Brickyard Blues

 Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
 Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
 Play something I can understand
 Play me some Brickyard Blues

 Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
 Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
 Play something I can understand
 Play me some Brickyard Blues
