Malvina Reynolds — Sing Along

I get butterflies in my stomach whenever I start to sing And when I'm at a microphone I shake like anything But if you'll sing along with me I'll holler right out loud 'Cause I'm awf'ly nervous lonesome, but I'm swell when I'm a crowd Sing along, sing along And just sing "la la la la la" if you don't know the song You'll quickly learn the music, you'll find yourself a word 'Cause when we sing together we'll be heard Oh, when I need a raise in pay and have to ask my boss If I go see him by myself I'm just a total loss But if we go together I'll do my part right pretty Cause I'm awf'ly nervous lonesome but I makе a fine committee Sing along, sing along And just sing "la la la la la" if you don't know the song You'll quickly learn thе music, you'll find yourself a word 'Cause when we sing together we'll be heard My congressman's important, he hobnobs with big biz He soon forgets the guys and gals who put him where he is I'll just write him a letter to tell him what I need With a hundred thousand signatures why even he can read Sing along, sing along And just sing "la la la la la" if you don't know the song You'll quickly learn the music, you'll find yourself a word 'Cause when we sing together we'll be heard Oh, life is full of problems, the world's a funny place I sometimes wonder why the heck I join'd the human race But when we work together, it all seems right and true I'm an awful nothing by myself but I'm okay with you.1 Sing along, sing along And just sing "la la la la la" if you don't know the song You'll quickly learn the music, you'll find yourself a word 'Cause when we sing together we'll be heard
