MEMPHIS MINUTE BLUES
They say, “The stars are all out tonight,
And the moon is shining bright.
There’s a brand new day coming soon,
And it’s playing a different tune.
Are you ready to begin it?”
I say, “Maybe, in a Memphis minute.”
Like the sun looks on a brand new day,
My eyes look a different way;
The Game of Life is all that I see,
And those voices keep asking me,
“Are you ready to win it?”
I say, “Maybe, in a Memphis minute.”
She said, “Our old love was a tragedy,
A small ship on a stormy sea.
But we can write a brand new play,
And our show could open today.
Are you ready to take part in it?”
I said, “Maybe, in a Memphis minute.”
Maybe, Baby, maybe, maybe, Baby,
Maybe – in a Memphis minute.
Lady Luck says she’s on my side,
I can win anything I try.
I’m face to face with Fortune’s wheel,
And I hear her final appeal:
“Are you ready to spin it?”
I say, “Maybe, in a Memphis minute.”
Now that my days are through,
I see so much that I didn’t do.
They say they have a medal for me
In honor of my hesitancy.
“Are you ready for us to pin it?”
I say, “Maybe, in a Memphis minute.”
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe,
Maybe in a Memphis minute.
