Record Ban Blues

Dinah Washington, Joe Newman, Joe Wilder

[Verse 1]
Talked to a lyric writer
He was trying to put a song across
He asked when I'd record again
I said, Petrillo's the boss

[Chorus]
I've got the record ban blues
Yes, I've got those record ban blues
I've got those record ban blues
And I'm paying some awful dues

[Verse 2]
Thirty-first of December
Was my last recording date
Started out real early
Didn't get through till real late

[Chorus]
I've got the record ban blues
Yes, I've got those rеcord ban blues
I've got those rеcord ban blues
Boy, and I'm paying some real heavy dues

[Verse 3]
I wanted to make another side
And boy, the tune was grand
They union man said, "Go ahead"
But you'll have to do it without the band

[Chorus]
I've got the record ban blues
Yes, I've got those record ban blues
Ooh-wee, got the record ban blues
And I'm paying some awful dues

[Verse 4]
Now you've heard my story
And that's the way it goes
So don't ask me when I'll record again
Because only Petrillo knows

[Chorus]
I've got the record ban blues
Yes, I've got the record ban blues
I've got the record ban blues
And I'm paying some awful dues
