Three Dog Night - Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)

Well, I tried to run my game
She said Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before
And I'm too tired to go for your show again and again

And she started to explain
She said Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Well, I started to sweat
She said Don't get upset 'cause you just might break a string
And that won't do a thing for your show

So I said to myself
I said Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul
And I gotta have some more, don't ya know

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

It's enough to make it light in the dark
It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a dog
Play somethin' sweet

Instrumental

Well, I tried to run my game
She said Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before
And I'm too tired to go for your show again and again

And she started to explain
She said Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
