I Love To Sing (01-27-36) - Cab Calloway

I love to sing-a

About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a,

I love to sing-a,

About a sky of blue-a, or a tea for two-a,

Anything-a with a swing-a to an «I love you-a,»

I love to, I love to sing!

Give me a song-a

About a son-a gun that went and done her wrong-a.

But keep it clean-a,

With a cottage small-a by a waterfall-a,

Any sob-a that will throb-a to a bluebird’s call-a,

I love to, I love to sing!

I was born a singin' fool-a,

Lah-de-dah!

Ol' Major Bowes is gonna get me,

Got through Yale with boula-boula,

Lah-de-dah!

Old microphone’s got me!

I love to sing-a,

I love to wake up with the south-a in my mouth-a,

And wave a flag-a,

With a cheer for Uncle Sammy and another for my mammy,

I love to sing!
