Lyrics

Sing a song about sunshine
Sing a song about taking a walk in the rain
Sing a song about daytime
Or why not sing about taking a ride on a train
You can't go wrong
When you're singing a song
Really?
Yeah!
Sing it loud, sing it strong
It feels good when you sing a song
Let's see!
Sing a song about new friends
Sing a song about tomorrow and yesterday
Sing a song about old friends (old friends)
Why not sing about going outside to play
It can't be bad
Even if it's sad
Sing it loud, sing it strong
It feels good when you sing a song
Sing a song about birds and plants, and bees and ants
And anything that comes along
Sing a song about laughing and crying, a banana or a lion
Sing a song about the short or the tall
The big and the small
Or anything at all
Sing a song about moonbeams
Yeah! Sing a song about coconuts in your head
Sing a song about daydreams (daydreams)
Sing a song about orange, yellow, blue or red
You'll never lose
Oh, when you sing the blues
Sing it high, sing it low
Sing it fast, sing it slow
It feels good when you sing a song
Take it!
Yeah!
Everybody, clap your hands!
You can't go wrong
When you're singing a song
Yeah, baby!
Sing it high, sing it low
Sing it fast, sing it slow
Sing it happy, sing it sad
Sing it good, sing it bad
Sing it all day long
It feels good when you sing a song
Oh!
Yeah!
Good job, Hoots!
My man!
Alright, thank you so much, everybody!
Boy, that was lots of fun!
I'll say!
Let's hear it for the original lyricists, Sam Pottle and George James.
That's right!
Give it up!
That's right! And today's arranger, Marcus Printup!
Yes, Marcus!
And a special thank you to Sherman for helping me out on sax. My man!
OK Hoots, thank you for singing with Elmo.
You're welcome.
