| Song | The I'm-Too-White-To-Sing-The-Blues Blues |
| Artist | Ann Hampton Callaway |
| Album | Blues in the Night |
| 作曲 : Callaway | |
| Disregard the name | |
| "Ann Hampton Callaway" | |
| English, Scottish, Irish | |
| A honky all the way | |
| Lionel wasn't pappy | |
| Neither was ol' Cab | |
| Ev'ry day I curse the way | |
| My life is dull and drab | |
| Go on and spread the news | |
| I've got the I'm-too-white-to-sing-the-blues blues! | |
| Got a payin' job | |
| A man who's good and true | |
| A spacious flat in New York City | |
| How could I be blue? | |
| My credit cards are paid up | |
| Except for MasterCard | |
| If my life is such a piece of cake | |
| Tell me why is it so hard? | |
| I ought to hit the booze | |
| I've got the I'm-too-white-to-sing-the-blues blues! | |
| BRIDGE | |
| Well, I dig my Ethel Waters | |
| Bessie Smith takes my breath away | |
| And I live for ev'ry word of pain | |
| From Billie Holiday | |
| Sometimes when I'm lonely | |
| I think I have my chance | |
| I try to sing St. Louis Blues | |
| To my cat and my houseplants | |
| But my cat gets catatonic | |
| My violets start to shrink | |
| When the ivy starts to climb the walls | |
| It's time to pour a drink | |
| Each time I try, I los | |
| e I've got the I'm-too-white-to-sing-the-blues blues! | |
| INSTRUMENTAL | |
| BRIDGE | |
| 3rd VERSE REPEAT | |
| CODA | |
| Each time I try I lose | |
| Spoken "Come to me Patti LaBelle" | |
| Ah huh! | |
| Spoken "Oh, that was pathetic!" | |
| I know you feel that way, too, sometimes, don't ya | |
| You listen to the radio and say | |
| "Hey, I wanna sing like that" | |
| But first you make sure that no one is spying on you | |
| And then you let it out in your shower | |
| And you feel so fantastic | |
| Until you find out | |
| Your girlfriend or your boyfriend | |
| Or your husband or your wife | |
| Or your cat or your dog | |
| Is making fun of you | |
| You, too, have the I'm-too-white-to-sing-the-blues blues! |
