Reconversion Blues

Reconversion Blues - Original - Louis Jordan

I got those rehee reconversion blues

I got those rehee reconversion blues

Can＇t wait to buy a new automobile

And a pair of two-tone shoes

I can walk right past my draft board

And I won＇t get no dirty looks

I can go down to say my grocer

Without takin＇ my ration books

I got those rehee reconversion blues

I can drive in a gas station

And get most anything I choose

I forgot the taste of bacon

And butter and whipped cream cake

At night I wake up screamin＇:

＂Bring me a nice fat juicy steak ＂

I got those rehee reconversion blues

I＇m gonna buy my baby nylons

Gonna by all the she can use

No more fish on Tuesdays

I get plenty meat in my stews

There＇s plenty of cigarettes and chewing gum

And nuts and bolts and screws

I got those rehee reconversion blues

If someone say ＂for the duration＂

Brother I＇m gonna blow my fuse

I＇m gonna reconvert my baby

With a house and a diamond ring

We＇re gonna lock our door this winter

And we won＇t come out till spring

I got those rehee reconversion blues

I＇m gonna buy a brand new radio

That don＇t know how to get the latest news
