I get butterflies in my stomach whenever I start to sing
And when I'm at a microphone I shake like anything
But if you'll sing along with me I'll holler right out loud
'Cause I'm awf'ly nervous lonesome, but I'm swell when I'm a crowd
Sing along, sing along
And just sing "la la la la la" if you don't know the song
You'll quickly learn the music, you'll find yourself a word
'Cause when we sing together we'll be heard
Oh, when I need a raise in pay and have to ask my boss
If I go see him by myself I'm just a total loss
But if we go together I'll do my part right pretty
Cause I'm awf'ly nervous lonesome but I make a fine committee
Sing along, sing along
And just sing "la la la la la" if you don't know the song
You'll quickly learn the music, you'll find yourself a word
'Cause when we sing together we'll be heard
My congressman's important, he hobnobs with big biz
He soon forgets the guys and gals who put him where he is
I'll just write him a letter to tell him what I need
With a hundred thousand signatures why even he can read
Sing along, sing along
And just sing "la la la la la" if you don't know the song
You'll quickly learn the music, you'll find yourself a word
'Cause when we sing together we'll be heard
Oh, life is full of problems, the world's a funny place
I sometimes wonder why the heck I join'd the human race
But when we work together, it all seems right and true
I'm an awful nothing by myself but I'm okay with you
Sing along, sing along
And just sing "la la la la la" if you don't know the song
You'll quickly learn the music, you'll find yourself a word
'Cause when we sing together we'll be heard
