Whether its Blues blue grass
where the grass is seen as greener
it’s gotta be said with the feeling
because the Blues is here to stay

Whether you like the jazz
The rhythm and blues is meaner
I don’t care what other people say
Cos the Blues just won’t go away.

Whether the skies are turning grey
It’s the coolest of summer days
I don’t dare to listen to the rap
Cos I know da Blues is here to stay.

Whether you are on your killing floor
When you are wanting the music more
Hold your own guitar firmly all day
Because the blues is here to stay.

You woke up this morning in your room
Hearing John Lee Hooker boom boom,
You will stand up singing and then say
Because the blues is here to say.

As I stood in a bar with Howlin’ Wolf
Crying to the moon loudly up to the roof
My backbone was jingling all the way
Because the blues is here to say!

The Rock n Roll came, blasted but cooled
Pop explosion hit us when we schooled
All kinds of sounds created came our way
Never mind, cos the Blues is here to stay!
