Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is not a sad song
A sad song to sing when you're alone
In it's way a glad song, yes
A glad song
A simple tune that simply seems
To make you feel good
When you sing alone
[Verse 2]
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
[Verse 3]
Me and you are subject to
The blues now and then
But when you take the blues
And make a song, good Lord
You sing them out again
Come sing them out again
[Verse 4]
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
[Verse 5]
Funny thing that you can sing it
With a cry in your voice
And before you know it
Start to feelin' good
You simply got no choice
[Verse 6]
I bet anybody in the whole world
Can sing this song
I don't care how bad you sing
You can sing this song
It's just that easy
All people can sing it
Infant can sing it
My chicken can sing it
My dog can sing it, my gorilla can sing it
Even frog can sing it
And now it's your turn, my turn
To sing it together
So take a deep breath
Cast away your inovation
It just about 16 bars
In another words, here you goes
Really easy
[Verse 7]
Song sung blue
With everybody knows one, ok
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
[Verse 8]
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
[Verse 9]
Funny thing that you can sing it
With a cry in your voice
And before you know it
Start to feelin' good
[Verse 10]
Song sung blue
Yeah, everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
[Verse 11]
Funny thing that you can sing it
With a cry in your voice
