Verse 1
This mornin' when I arose
no smell of coffee came to my nose
Stumbled to the kitchen to see
the coffee machine was blinkin' at me
As my groggy head started thinkin'
I seen my alarm clock wasn’t tickin'

I made it to work just after eleven
computers were down, oh thank heaven
No cool air was found to be blowin'
beads of sweat started showin'
All around lovely Lucy’s face
she had her makeup runnin' all over the place

Chorus
She’s got those rollin' blackout blues, maybe you’ve even had ’em too
They say bad things come in threes, what could be next, maybe the killer bees?
Tell me please what’s next for us all?
Maybe it’s gonna be the Big One by next fall

Verse 2
Now my six pack of beer's no longer cold
And the cheese is stale, gone green with mold
Who out there will stand up and save us?
Superman, hell no, Gray Davis???

Ending Chorus
We’ve got those rollin' blackout blues
hey, hey, have ya heard the news
Politicians’ lack of vision
has left us in our current condition
Now who’s gonna pay when the bill comes due
Now we’ve all got those rollin' blackout blues
