For today's Blue Monday, I have Fleetwoods singing "Mr. Blue." To hear them, you'll need to scroll down and click.

The original recording was in 1959, but the video is a more recent performance. I know that Garth Brooks has released his version, but I like the original. It just takes a short while to listen, and I think it'll bring a smile to your face.

The sailor picture is of The Fleetwoods in 1959: Barbara Ellis, Gary Troxel, and Gretchen Christopher.


Here are the lyrics if you care to sing along:

Our guardian star lost all its glow
The day that I lost you
It lost all its glitter the day you said "no"
And its grey skies turned to blue


Like him I am doubtful
That your love is true
So if you decide to call on me
Ask for Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue
When you say you love me
Then prove it by goin' out on the sly
Provin' your love is untrue
Call me Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue
When you say you're sorry
Then turn around headed for the lights of town
Hurtin' me through and through
Call me Mr. Blue

I sleep alone each night
Wait by the phone each night
But you don't call
And I won't hurt my pride
Call me mister


I won't tell you
When you paint the town
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm painting it too
But I'm painting it blue

I sleep alone each night
Wait by the phone each night
But you don't call
And I won't hurt my pride
Call me mister....

I won't tell you
When you paint the town
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm painting it too
But I'm painting it blue
Call me Mr. Blue

Call me mister...
