Song (CAPE ISLAND BLUES)

"CAPE ISLAND BLUES"

I seldom hear the foghorn
Like in days of old
One never hears a church bell
Welcoming its fold;
Can't even find a rainbow
In its brilliant hues
'Cuz lately all I've got
Is these Cape Island blues.

(CHORUS)
Got these fog-filled-rainy-days-frigid-nights, no-stars-out, no-moon-beams, boring and lonesome Cape Island blues.

Can't even find a single friend
To keep me company
Will have to wait for Santa
To sit upon his knee;
Some say I'm better off
But they don't have a clue
What it's like on Friday nights
With these Cape Island blues.

(CHORUS)
Got these fog-filled-rainy-days-frigid-nights,-no-stars-out,-no moonbeams,-boring and lonesome Cape Island blues.

A movie theatre in the town
Or a Casino would be nice
Somewhere to socialize
While throwing out the dice;
A little dinner theater
Or just a restaurant
Shouldn't be too much to ask
Or too much for one to want.

(CHORUS)
Got these fog-filled-rainy-days-frigid-nights,-no-stars-out,-no-moonbeams,-boring & lonesome Cape Island blues.

Well, there's always church I guess
And I could learn how to bowl
But these old knees of mine
Have taken their last toll;
No fun "parking" by myself
Too darn cold to take a walk
How I wish this dog of mine
Could just learn how to talk.

(CHORUS)
Got these fog-filled-rainy-days-frigid-nights, no-stars-out, no-moonbeams, boring & lonesome Cape Island blues.

Electric blanket's set on high
A book waits by the bed
And in my sexy negligee
(In case I wake up dead);
The night-time is my haven
What have I got to lose?
Guess I'll have to settle
For these Cape Island blues.

(CHORUS)
Got these fog-filled-rainy-days-frigid-nights, no-stars-out, no-moonbeams, boring & lonesome Cape Island blues.
Damn these Cape Island blues!!

Not even a place to wear my new shoes!
