Ah! Oh! ain't it grand
to live and breathe
and let your chest expand.
Ah! The skies are blue,
The world's a song,
When life is notes to you,
I've got eternal youth because
I've got my heart where it belongs,
Don't care who makes the nation's laws
Long as I can sing its songs;
I love to sing-a,
about the moon-a
and the June-a
and the spring-a,
I love to sing-a
'bout the sky of blue-a,
or a tea for two-a,
anything-a with a swing-a
to an I love you-a, I love-a to, I love-a to sing!
Give me a song-a,
about the son-a-gun,
who went and done her wrong-a
but keep it clean-a;
With a cottage small-a
by the waterfall-a
any sob-a that'll throb-a
to a bluebird's call-a
I love-a to, I love-a to sing;
I was born a sing-in' fool-a,
La-de-da,
Major Bowes (Hollywood) is gonna spot me,
Got thru Yale,
with Boola Boola,
La-de-da,
Ole microphone's got me!
I love to sing-a
I love to wake up with the South-a
in my mouth-a,
and wave the flag-a,
With a cheer for Uncle Sammy
and another for my mammy,
I love to sing!
to live and breathe
and let your chest expand.
