I love to sing-a
|
About a moon-a and a June-a and a spring-a,
|
I love to sing-a,
|
About a sky of blue-a, and a tea for two-a,
|
Anything-a with a swing-a, or a "I love you-a,"
|
I love, I love to sing!
|
|
Give me a song-a
|
About a son-a gun that went and done her wrong-a.
|
But keep it clean-a,
|
By a cottage small-a with a waterfall-a,
|
Any sob-a that will throb-a to a bluebird's call-a,
|
I love, I love to sing!
|
|
I was born a singin' fool-a,
|
Lah-de-dah!
|
Ol' Major Bowes is gonna spot me,
|
Got through Yale with boula-boula,
|
Lah-de-dah!
|
Old microphone's got me!
|
|
I love to sing-a,
|
I love to wake up with the south-a in my mouth-a,
|
And wave a flag-a,
|
With a cheer for Uncle Sammy and another for my mammy,
|
I love to sing!
|
|
The swingin'est,
|
Hot singin'est,
|
Bell-ringin'est,
|
Song singin'est
|
High tootin'est,
|
Sky tootin'est,
|
I love to sing!
