Sing Along Songtext
von Malvina Reynolds

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 make a fine committee

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

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
