Lyrics Let Me Sing and I'm Happy - Al Jolson

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 this popular song

Let me sing a funny song with crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing, I'm happy, so happy
Let me sing a sad refrain of broken hearts that love in vain
And if my song can start you crying I'm, I'm happy

Let me croon a low down blues to lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy

Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick I'm, I'm happy

I'm happy

Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick I'm, I'm a-happy
