[Verse]
My big toe's achin' like it's got a grudge
Every step I take feels like a sledgehammer's thud
Late-night cravings led me straight to this fate
Now I’m regrettin' that steak on my plate
[Chorus]
Got the gout blues baby it’s takin' me down
My toe’s swollen up can’t wear my night-out crown
Doctor says lay off that lobster and wine
But it’s so hard when fine dining’s divine
[Verse 2]
Candles lit shrimp cocktail was my dream
Now my foot’s screamin' louder than my ice cream team
It’s a cruel twist of fate my taste buds betray
While my toe’s in a tantrum beggin' me to stay away
[Chorus]
Got the gout blues baby it’s takin' me down
Feels like the king but I can’t leave the ground
Doctor says cool it on the cured meats dear
But these cravings laugh louder than my tears
[Bridge]
Oh bring me some cushions a throne for my feet
All this uric acid got me feelin' defeat
I’ll hobble to redemption on veggies and hope
But right now baby I’m singin’ the struggle to cope
[Chorus]
Got the gout blues baby it’s takin' me down
My toe’s mad at me now it’s wearin’ a frown
I’ll trade my filet mignon for some celery sticks
But baby this pain's got me throwin’ a fit
