Ration Blues

[01:11.92] Baby, baby, baby,
[01:14.23] What's wrong with Uncle Sam?
[01:16.79] He's cut down on my sugar
[01:18.85] Now he's messin' with my ham
[01:21.25] I got the ration blues
[01:25.10] Blue as I can be
[01:30.79] Oh, me, I've got those ration blues
[01:39.33]
[01:41.82] I got to live on forty ounces
[01:45.08] Of any kind of meat
[01:47.15] Those forty little ounces
[01:49.12] Gotta last me all the week
[01:51.81] I got to cut down on my jelly
[01:54.22] It takes sugar to make it sweet
[01:56.59] I'm gonna steal all your jelly, baby
[01:59.47] And rob you of your meat
[02:01.45] I got the ration blues
[02:05.44] Blue as I can be
[02:11.11] Oh, me, I've got those ration blues
[02:19.71]
[02:22.25] I like to wake up in the morning
[02:24.90] With my jelly by my side
[02:27.49] Since rationing started, baby
[02:29.96] You just take your stuff and hide
[02:32.48] They reduced my meat and sugar
[02:34.95] And rubber's disappearing fast
[02:37.28] You can't ride no more with poppa
[02:39.62] 'Cause Uncle Sam wants my gas
[02:42.55] I got the ration blues
[02:46.36] Blue as I can be
[02:52.01] Oh, me, I've got those ration blues
[02:58.65]
