	Lyrics Big and Black and Blue by Ellen Griffith, Copyright 1996 When I grow up, I wanna be just like Howlin' Wolf, Or maybe B. B. King. I wanna play a cryin', screamin' blues guitar, And shuck and jive and sing. I'll Shake My Moneymaker, Sing the Mean Mistreater Blues. I got my mojo workin', I've already paid my dues. But it don't seem right I gotta be short and white. I wanna be big and black and blue. I don't wanna clone another Rolling Stone, I don't wanna be a Beatle. Rock around the clock, all the white boys rock, But I wanna be the real deal. When I grow up, I wanna be just like Howlin' Wolf, Or maybe Elmore James, Or Sunny Boy, or Blind Boy, or Big Boy, too. Hey, I know all those names. I'll drink my whiskey straight, I'll eat that greasy bar-b-que, I'll pitch a Wang Dang Doodle, Just like Howlin' Wolf would do, Be a bad-ass dude with lots of attitude I wanna be big and black and blue. I don't wanna rap or croon romantic crap, Can't be satisfied that way. Til I get a grant for a blues transplant, I ain't just jivin' when I say When I grow up I wanna be just like Howlin' Wolf, Or maybe Albert King, I'll buy a darker suit and get a pork pie hat, And shades and everything. The chicks will come a-runnin', I'll have greenbacks by the stack, A diamond pinkie ring, of course, I'll drive a Cadillac. Smoke a big cigar, I'll name my own guitar, I wanna be big, and black, and blue.
