Lyrics Dinah Washington – New Blowtop Blues

Yes I’ve been rocking on my feet and I’ve been talking all out of my head
And when I get through talking, I can’t remember a thing I’ve said
Now I used to be a sharpie
All dressed in the latest styles
But now I’m walking down Broadway
Wearing nothing but a smile
I see all kinds of little men
Although they’re never there
I tried to push a subway train
And poured whiskey in my hair
I’m a gal who blew a fuse, I’ve got those blowtop blues
Last night I was five feet tall, Today I’m eight feet ten
Every time I fall downstairs, I float right up again
When someone turned the lights on me it like to drove me blind
I woke up this morning in Bellevue but I’ve left my mind behind
I’m a gal you can’t excuse, ’cause I’ve got those blowtop blues
Well I got high last night, and I took my man to his wife’s front door
Yes I got juiced last night and I took my man to his wife’s front door
Oh but she was a 45-packin’ mama, and I ain’t goin’ to try that no more
