I Call It Pretty Music but the Old People Call It the Blues, Pt. 1 Lyrics

I was sittin′ in my classroom the other day
Playin' my harmonica in a mellow way
Some teachers seemed to have gathered around
Tryin′ to figure out what I was puttin' down

I called it pretty music
But the old people call it the blues

Ain't that pretty mad?

They were lookin′ at me sittin′ there all alone
Mumblin' to each other in a real low tone
I couldn′t figure out what they was sayin'
They couldn′t understand what I was playin'

Well, I called it pretty music
But the old people call it the blues

Ain′t that pretty mad

Well, I called it pretty music
But the old people call it the blues, ooh yeah
I called it pretty music
But the old people call it the blues
