International Klein Blues Lyrics

I wrote a song the other day,
'Cause I was feelin' bored.
It's only got two lines of lyrics
And it's only got three chords,
But then a record comp'ny came to me
With an offer I couldn't refuse.
Now I've got those International
Klein Blues.

[musical interlude]

I wasn't optimistic
When they brought out the EP
But they said that all I needed
Was some good publicity.
Then the song went double platinum,
And I didn't have much to lose.
So I've got those International
Klein Blues.

This song is your nightmare,
This song is your friend.
They'll play it on the radio
Again and again.
You'll like what you hear,
If you hear it enough.
Yeah, it grows on you,
And you can't get it off!

[skat interlude]

I guess by now it's time to whine
About these endless tours.
I sell out all my concerts,
But I get free pedicures.
When it's down to money and truth, or something
It's not that hard to choose,
Unless you've got those International
Yeah, I've got those International
I've got those International
Klein Blues.
