I got the bowling ball blues

When I first started bowling

Just a spare was great
An my score looked good
At 108

They said if I practiced
I could raise my game
So I practiced and I practiced
But I still play the same

I got the bowling ball blues

My wife she can beat me
And my daughters too
I think I'll hang up my bowling ball
My bag and my shoes

I got the bowling ball blues

Now a friend said roll
This ball of mine
It's a finger tip
And you get a better line
So I tried a finger tip
And all the rest
Till my thumbs and my fingers
Are in a heck of a mess

I got the bowling ball blues

My wife still beats me
And my daughters too
I think I'll hang up my bowling ball
My bag and my shoes

I got the bowling ball blues

Bowling is fun
That's what they say
So I'm gonna try to bowl
Another way to day

If my wife still beats me
And my daughters too
I'm gonna hang up my bowling ball
My bag and my shoes

I got the bowling ball blues
I got the bowling ball blues
