Blues Of The Month Club -Joe Louis Walker Written by :Dan Penn/Carson Whitsett/Gary Nicholson It's the first of the month It's about that time I step out to the mailbox Knowing what I will find Oh theres a note from the landlord Saying I'm overdue And a bill from the doctor But I still got the flu Oh theres a always electric Water and gas I can tell that my paycheck it just aint gonna Last One thing I'm sure of My dues are paid up I'm a member in good standing Of the blues of the month club Of the blues of the month club I got a letter this morning From my first ex wife Theres not enough money To get her out of my life And the woman I'm loving She's a doin me a wrong Our june wedding Has been postponed That's the same story I heard in last may I don't understand it Why she treats me this a way One thing I'm sure of My dues are paid up I'm a member in good standing Of the blues of the month club Of the blues of the month club Hey yeah yeah I wrote a book on how to fail As I expected It was no sale One thing I'm sure of My dues are paid up I'm a member in good standing Of the blues of the month club Of the blues of the month club Januarys here It's gonna be a cold new year February would be fine If I had me a valentine March april may and june Something a better happen soon July august and september Not one good day to remember I'm glad Oh I'm glad Octobers over Octobers over
