Lyrics

Sing Along

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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.

Chorus:

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 make a fine committee.

(Chorus)

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.

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)
