[Verse 1]
Can't get no sleeves for my records
Can't get no laces for my shoes
Can't get no fancy notes
On my blue guitar

[Refrain]
I can’t get no antidote for blues
Ooh, oh yeah, ooh

[Verse 2]
Can't find the reasons for your actions
Or I don't much like the reasoning you use
Somehow your motives are impure
Somehow I can't find the cure

[Refrain]
Can't get no antidote for blues
Ooh, oh yeah, ooh

[Verse 3]
They say it's mostly vanity that writes the plays we act
They tell me that's what everybody knows
There's no such thing as sanity
And that's the sanest fact
[Refrain]
That's the way the story goes
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, ooh

[Verse 4]
Can't get no remedy on my TV
It's nothing but the same old news
Where they can't find a way to be
One world in harmony

[Refrain]
Can't get no antidote for blues
Ooh, oh yeah, ooh
Ooh, oh yeah, ooh, alright
