A little bit of sugar,
make it sweet enough for you.
Just a taste of honey,
‘cos I know you love that too.
When you put it all together,
you got a recipe for the blues.

I know you love home cookin’,
and I know you’re hungry too.
I know you love home cookin’,
and I know you’re hungry too.
You don’t have to be good lookin’,
just need a recipe for the blues.

Well sit down at my table,
I got something you can use.
Well sit down at my table,
I got something you can use.
When you’re willing and you’re able,
I got a recipe for the blues.

Last verse ad lib and finish with last line-

When you’re willing and you’re able,
I got a recipe for the blues.
