The Business-Closing Blues

[This is what happens when I'm bored and I've been listening to too much early jazz (is that even possible? Too much early jazz?). I'd throw up a recording if only I could play rhythm section instruments well...though I suppose I could lay down a walking line on the bass bone. Depends on how exciting my night is I guess.]

Business-Closing Blues (Key of G, 12-bar 1-4-5 progression) by Althea S.

This recession keeps comin'
Keeps comin' round the bend
This recession keeps a comin'
Keeps comin' round the bend
This recession will take courage
And our hard work to end

I see businesses closing
Everywhere I look
I see businesses closing
Everywhere I look
Old places I used to frequent
My every hang-out nook

(trombone solo, 2 choruses)

Went back to Fitchburg
To visit my old town
Went back to Fitchburg
To visit my old town
This recession's like a virus
Seems to hit everyone around

I see businesses closing
Everywhere I look
I see businesses closing
Everywhere I look
Old places I used to frequent
My every hang-out nook

The stimulus package is helping
But they don't understand
The stimulus package is helping
But they don't understand
They keep on moanin' about their tax rate
While nothing's in demand
