| I walked up the street with a smile
|
| To greet all of the passing strangers
|
| And I don’t know why everybody’s so shy
|
| Or maybe they’re feeling blue
|
| There’s been a thing that’s going on
|
| It feels like melancholy has dawned
|
| Where is the music? |
| Where has it gone?
|
| Somebody, come on
|
| Sing me a song, any kinda song
|
| Let’s get together and make right all the wrongs
|
| Sing me a song, any kinda song
|
| Do me a favor and sing 'til the blues are gone
|
| It’s been way too long with all that’s going on
|
| Since I’ve had the pleasure to hear a happy song
|
| So sing a happy song
|
| Somebody, sing a happy song
|
| I was sitting in the park, just before it got dark
|
| When I heard an alarm
|
| And I can’t figure out why it is that I hear
|
| Only sad songs in the atmosphere
|
| There’s been a thing that’s going on
|
| It feels like melancholy has dawned
|
| Where is the music? |
| Where has it gone?
|
| Somebody, come on
|
| Sing me a song, any kinda song
|
| Let’s get together and make right all the wrongs
|
| Sing me a song, any kinda song
|
| Do me a favor and sing 'til the blues are gone |
| It’s been way too long with all that’s going on
|
| Since I’ve had the pleasure to hear a happy song
|
| So sing a happy song
|
| Somebody, sing a happy song
|
| I went across town and then underground
|
| To catch home the train
|
| And that’s when I heard the sweetest of sounds
|
| A young child singing for change
|
| I said, «Where you been, child, all day?
|
| I’ve been searching everywhere for somebody like you
|
| To sing a happy tune»
|
| So, come on
|
| Sing me a song, any kinda song
|
| Let’s get together and make right all the wrongs
|
| Sing me a song, any kinda song
|
| Do me a favor and sing 'til the blues are gone
|
| It’s been way too long with all that’s going on
|
| Since I’ve had the pleasure to hear a happy song
|
| So sing a happy song
|
| Somebody, sing a happy song |
