Lyrics Let Me Sing and I'm Happy - Ruth Etting

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
