KEEP SINGING

When clouds are dark and dreary, and the world has got you down,

                When returning homeward weary, you are welcomed with a frown;

When your life is filled with bother and your troubles round you thong,

                There is no hope for you, oh, brother, if you still can sing a song.

( Chorus)

So sing a song of England or of Ireland’s shamrock shore

                ‘Wrap the Green Flag Round Me’ or ‘The Sash My Father Wore!

The words don’t really matter and your music may be wrong,

                But the devil couldn’t beat you, if you still can sing a song

You don’t need to ape Mc Cormack,nor yet to croon like Bing,

                Just be true to Mother Nature and as nature taught you – sing,

You can conquer every worry and the imps that drive you wrong,

                Will desert you in a hurry, if you still can sing a song.

( Chorus)

So sing and keep forgetting any trouble you have got,

                It’s more than evan betting, you are on to something hot.

You will make your world far brighter, and if someone says you’re wrong.

‘Tis most likely he’s a blighter who has never sung a song.
