"If You Feel Like Singing, Sing" lyrics
(from "Summer Stock" soundtrack)
If you feel like singing, sing
Tra-la-la your cares away
There's something about giving out with a song
Makes you belong
Helps you to find a peace of mindful day
If you feel like hummin', hum
Fiddle-de-de-da-de-dum
Supposin' you doe-rae-me slightly off-key
Everyone can't be Bing!
Tell your friends to go places
If they start making faces
If you feel like singing, sing
La-da-de-da, da-da-da
There's something about giving out with a song
Makes you belong
Helps you find a peace of mindful day
La-la-la-la, da-da-da
La-da-de-da, da-da-da
Just look in the mirror and do a duet
And raise your voices aloft
Don't move out of your dwelling
If your neighbours start yelling
If you can't sing good, sing soft!
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
When your luck is in need of repair
Ha-da-da, don't you care!
Anyone who feels chipper will
Chirp out like a whipoorwill
It mustn't necessarily
Be any anniversary
Or be an extra special event
If you feel like singing, sing tra-la-la
Fiddle-de, tra-la-la
Sing to your heart's content!
La-da-de-da, da-da-dum
If you feel like singing, sing!
Tra-la-la your cares away
There's something about giving out with a song
Makes you belong
Helps you to find a peace of mindful day
If you feel like hummin', hum
Fiddle-de-de-da-de-dum
Supposin' you doe-rae-me slightly off-key
Everyone can't be Bing!
Tell your friends to go places
If they start making faces
If you feel like singing, sing
La-da-de-da, da-da-da
There's something about giving out with a song
Makes you belong
Helps you find a peace of mindful day
La-la-la-la, da-da-da
La-da-de-da, da-da-da
Just look in the mirror and do a duet
And raise your voices aloft
Don't move out of your dwelling
If your neighbours start yelling
If you can't sing good, sing soft!
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
When your luck is in need of repair
Ha-da-da, don't you care!
Anyone who feels chipper will
Chirp out like a whipoorwill
It mustn't necessarily
Be any anniversary
Or be an extra special event
If you feel like singing, sing tra-la-la
Fiddle-de, tra-la-la
Sing to your heart's content!
La-da-de-da, da-da-dum
If you feel like singing, sing!
