Let me sing and I'm happy

(From the film "Mammy")

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 care for the world's affairs

As long as I can sing its popular songs

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 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

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 happy, I'm happy

I don't want a seat on any big council

A ruler's power is not what I'm seeking for

Only let me feel that my songs appeal has reached your hearts

I'll not ask for anything more

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 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

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 happy, I'm happy
