Let Me Sing and I'm Happy |
What care I who makes the laws of a nation |
Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs |
What care I who cares for the world’s affairs |
As long as I can sing its popular songs |
Let me sing a funny song |
With crazy words that roll along |
And if my song can start you laughing |
I’m happy, happy |
Let me sing a sad refrain |
Of broken hearts who love in vain |
And if my song can start you crying |
I’m happy |
Let me croon a lowdown blues |
That lifts you out of your seat |
If my blues can reach your shoes |
And start you tapping your feet |
I’m happy |
Let me sing of Dixie’s charms |
Of cotton fields and mammy’s arms |
And if my song can make you homesick |
I’m happy |
Of broken hearts that loved in vain |
To lift you out of your seat |
If my song can reach your shoes |
The Swanee shore and mother’s arms |
