A day in my life's another day in school,
After all this time I have learned one rule,
I get used, worn, tattered, and abused,
I try hard not to lose, ah but I've learned the news,
I'm the professor of the blues.
Verse 2
I try to do right, it only turns out wrong,
It always leaves me here just to sing this song,
I get used, worn, tattered, and abused,
I try hard not to lose, ah but I've read the news,
I'm the professor of the blues.
SOLO 1
Verse 3
Everyday I get up, just to be let down,
I try to wear a smile, but it turns into a frown,
I get used, worn, tattered, and abused,
I try hard not to lose, ah but I got the news,
I'm the professor of the Blues.
Verse 4
I try to go on, I wanna be set free,
But this same old thing keeps on happening to me,
I get used, worn, tattered, and abused,
I try hard not to lose, ah but I've learned the news,
I'm the professor of the Blues.
SOLO 2
Verse 5
You know I try so hard just to shed this name,
But I've learned to believe everything'll be the same,
I'll get used, worn, tattered, and abused,
I try hard not to lose, ah but I've learned the news,
I'm the professor of the Blues.
The Professor of the Blues,
I'm the professor of the blues
