Let me sing a funny song With crazy words that just roll along And if my song Can start you laughing 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 it's popular songs? Let me sing a funny song With crazy words that just roll along And if my song can start you laughing I'm happy, happy Let me sing a sad refrain Of broken hearts that loved in vain And if my song can start you crying I'm happy Let me croon a low-down blues To lift you out of your seat And if my song can reach your shoes a And start you tapping your feet I'm happy Let me sing of Dixie's charms Of cotton fields and mammy's harms And if my song can make me homesick I'm happy Oh, let me sing a funny little ol' song With crazy ol' words that just roll along And if my song can start you laughing I'm happy, I'm so happy Oh, let me sing a sad refrain Of broken hearts that loved in vain And if my song can start you crying I'm happy Oh, let me croon a low-down blues To lift you right out of your seat And if my song can reach your shoes And start you tapping your feet I'm happy Oh, let me sing of Dixie's charms Of cotton fields and mammy's harms And if my song can make you homesick I'm happy, happy, happy when I sing
