This is, of course, autobiographical. You’ll have to imagine the music.
Woke up this mornin' made myself some toast Lurked in the hallway waitin' for the post I hope my girl's been gettin' all the letters that I wrote her 'cause I'm stuck here in England and she's in Minnesota [chorus] Got the girlfriend in Minnesota blues I gotta get some transatlantic news You don't want to be in my shoes I got the girlfriend in Minnesota blues Walked to the bus stop to get myself a bus Get my idle butt to work stop makin' such a fuss I don't want you to think that I'm indelicate or crass But I can't stop imagining the curves of her face [chorus] Got the girlfriend in Minnesota blues I dream about her every time I snooze I don't have any air miles left to lose I got the girlfriend in Minnesota blues [instrumental break - handclaps and cowbells] I make it through to lunchtime Stop and take a break Think about my girlfriend What a couple we could make We're gonna get together and I'm gonna try to please her But I might die of frustration while I'm waitin' for the visa [chorus] Got the girlfriend in Minnesota blues Not the kind of contraception I would choose I think I'm goin' blind from self-abuse I got the girlfriend in Minnesota blues Sittin' in the living room waitin' all alone Stayin' up 'til 1AM just so I can phone I can sit and watch TV all night or walk around the yard But when I wake up in the morning it can be kinda hard [chorus] Got the girlfriend in Minnesota blues My VCR's worn out from over-use I'm thinkin' maybe I should hit the booze I got the girlfriend in Minnesota blues
