Let Me Sing and I'm Happy - Original - Al Jolson

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 cares 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 your 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, 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, I’m happy

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, I’m happy
