Berkeley Campus Blues Songtext
von Jimmy Rushing

Gonna wear tight pants and grow me a cool Van Dyke
Gonna wear tight pants and grow me a cool Van Dyke
Gonna be the kind of cat them bashful Berkeley co-eds like

Trying to do my work, but the time just slips away
Trying to do my work, but the time just slips away
′Cause we live it up all night, and sit around and gripe all day


We've got sit-ins, dropouts and freedom fighters too
We′ve got kooks and politicians, everything but kids in school

Go right, go left, it's still the same dead end
Yes, go right, go left, it's still the same dead end
Better sing the Berkeley blues, there′s running we can ′round the bend

Got the Berkeley blues
Yes, the Berkeley blues
It's Berkeley blues
