Little Benny Blue playing out in the back
Running through the weeds by the railroad track
Just a happy kid got nothin' on his mind
Well a minute lasts for hours when you're barely just nine
But pretty soon Benny well he's gonna find
That the blues is the bottom line

Little Benny Blue now he's writing a song
cbout a sweet little girl how she done him wrong
He's hoping that the song is gonna bring her back
But the girl's gone running with rest of the pack
Looks like little Benny well he's 'bout to find
That the blues is the bottom line

Little Benny Blue drives a beater to work  
Just putting in time on planet earth.   
Days are passing slow now that years are passing fast 
Punching up the clock trying to pay for his gas

Little Benny Blue finally cashed in his chips
Learned to play piano picking up tips
Running down the highway on a dark summer night
Got a whole lotta women ain't none of them right
Looks like little Benny well he's starting to find
That the blues is the bottom line

Little Benny Blue figured out what it's worth
Just by putting in time on Planet earth
Now his hours passing slow but his years passing fast 
He's just playing the blues and smoking the grass

Little Benny Blue well he never got a hit
Found a good woman, and he never did quit
Learned to love the blues because they hurt so nice
Wouldn't trade that love for money not at anybody's price

Don't always make sense and it might not rhyme
But the blues is the bottom line
