Lyrics

• Lil' D: You see all these people out here on this street, Eddie?

See? They got blues. I'm talking 'bout they're poor, they're broke, they're hungry; that's blues.

• Eddie: Well, the blues can live in Buckhead, too.

I know.

It's just a richer shade of blue, but it's still blue;

I can feel it.

Listen! (plays his clarinet)

• Choir: He got everything he want.

But everything he need, money don't buy.

Now, if that ain't blues, I say listen, oh.

They look at him.

All they see is dollar signs.

Now, if that ain't blues, I say listen.

A rich shade of blue.

Lil' D: Okay, okay, you snappin', you snappin'.

Choir: A rich shade of blue.

Eddie: Well, I'm just playing what I feel, and it sure feels good!

Choir: A rich shade of blue.

Lil' D: I see, I'm about to bring you down to Bankhead more often. 'Cause you going off.

Choir: A rich shade of blue.

Eddie: Or we can take it to Buckhead, and do it Peachtree style.

Choir: A rich shade of blue.

Sunny: Everybody fall down sometimes, yeah, just like that.

Choir: Oh, but you gotta get back to the place where they know your face,

And they don't mind if you cry sometimes.

They listen, 'cause they cry too.

Eddie: Ooh, that's right, right, right!

Choir: A rich shade of blue.

Lil' D: I guess it ain't where you from is where you at.

Choir: A rich shade of blue.

Eddie: It's my birthday and I'm havin' the best worst time of my life!

Choir: A rich shade of blue.

Lil' D: Man, we stand out on this corner any longer, you gon' make me rich.

Choir: A rich shade of blue.
