Original version[edit]
- (Lisa and Bleeding Gums jam on their saxophones)
- Bleeding Gums:
- Oh, I'm so lonely
- Since my baby left me.
- I got no money,
- And nothin' is free.
- Oh, I been so lonely
- Since the day I was born.
- All I got is this rusty,
- This rusty old horn.
- Lisa:
- I got a bratty brother.
- He bugs me every day.
- And this morning, my own mother,
- She gave my last cupcake away.
- My dad acts like he belongs,
- He belongs in the zoo.
- I'm the saddest kid
- In grade number two.
Full version[edit]
- Lisa:
- I've got a bratty brother.
- Who bugs me every day.
- And this morning, my own mother,
- Gave my last cupcake away.
- My dad, he acts like he belongs,
- Like he belongs in the zoo.
- I'm the saddest kid
- Saddest kid in grade number two.
- I wish I had a pony,
- I wish I were 18,
- I wish I had a dime
- For every kid who treats me mean.
- They tease me cuz I'm different,
- Little different from the rest.
- Oh, yes.
- Well, I'm down so low,
- If I cheered up, I'd still be depressed.
- The saxophone's my best friend,
- I play all over town.
- But when I practice in my room,
- I hear...
- Homer:
- LISA, KEEP IT DOWN!!!
- Lisa:
- Although I'm only eight years old,
- I've really paid my dues.
- It's true.
- That's why I got a case of,
- A case of the Moanin' Lisa Blues!
- (Joe Walsh plays a solo)
- I wonder how I got here,
- I wonder what I'll be.
- The saddest little twig
- On this crazy family tree.
- I feel like I'm a loser
- With nothing left to lose.
- That's why I've got a case of,
- A case of the Moanin' Lisa Blues!
- Oh, there's just no postponin'
- A case of the Moanin' Lisa Blues!
- (Lisa blows her horn, John Sebastian blows a harp solo, then Lisa blows again until fade)
