Record Ban Blues

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" 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 Thrity-first of December Was my last recording date Started out real early Didn't get through till real late I've got the record ban blues Yes, I've got those record ban blues I've got those record ban blues Boy, and I'm paying some real heavy dues I wanted to make another side And boy, the tune was grand The union man said, "Go ahead, But you'll have to do it without the band" 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 Now you heard my story And that's the way it goes So don't ask me when I'll record again Because only Petrillo knows 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
