Duke Ellington — Get Yourself a New Broom

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] Take your last red penny Borrow some if you haven't any Buy yourself a new broom Sweep the blues away Spend a half a dollar If you don't, you're a horse's collar Tidy up that blue room And keep the blues away [Bridge] Unless I missed my guest Happiness doesn't hide around corners Get wise, use your eyes Maybe you'll get a pleasant surprise [Verse 2] Change that hard-luck story Everything will be hunky-dory Get yourself a new broom And sweep the blues away [Instrumental]
