A Apolitical Blues Lyrics by Van Halen

OU812

1988

[Chorus]
Well, my telephone is ringing
They told me, they told me it was Chairman Mao
Well, my telephone is ringing and
They told me it was Chairman Mao
Well, just tell him anything
I just don't want to talk to him now
Not now, baby

[Verse]
I got me my apolitical blues and
And it's the meanest blues of all
Talkin' 'bout the apolitical blues
Baby, it's the meanest blues of all
Now, I don't care if you're John Lennon, baby
I just don't-don't want to take no calls
No calls, baby
Just wanna play the blues

[Chorus]
Now wait a minute
Ayy, yo, my telephone is ringing
They told me, they told me it was Chairman Mao
Ayy, my telephone is ringing
And they told me it was Chairman Mao-ah-oh
Ah, mama, just tell 'em anything
I don't care, I just, I just don't want to talk
I just don't want to talk
I just-I just don't want to talk to him now
No calls, no calls
