If You Don't Want The Blues Poem by Dorsey Baker

If you don't want the blues
you don't have to
open the door
and let them in
If you don't want the blues
you don't have to
open the door
and let them in
because if you don't
open the door
they don't have
no chance of beginning

If you don't want the blues
you'd better stay
on the sunny side of the street
If you don't want the blues
you'd better stay
on the sunny side of the street
If you don't want the blues
stay on the sunny side of the street
because the blues
they just can't stand the heat

If you don't want the blues
you don't have to
make them feel at home
If you don't want the blues
you don't have to
make them feel at home
because if you make them
feel at home
they'll never leave you alone!
