Learnin' The Blues (feat. Ella Fitzgerald)

Ella: The tables are empty

The dance floor's deserted

You play the same love song

It's the tenth time you've heard it

That's the beginning

Just one of the clues

You've had your first lesson

In learnin' the Blues

The cigarettes you light

One after another

Won't help you forget him

And the way that you loved him

You're only burning

A torch you can't lose

But you're on the right track

For learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone

The blues will taunt you constantly

When you're out in a crowd

The Blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep

The whole night you're cryin'

But you can't forget him

Soon you even stop tryin'

You walk the floor

And wear out your shoes

When you feel your heart break

You're learnin the blues

Louis: Yes, the tables are empty

The dance floor's deserted

And You play the same love song, Whoa, yes
