Songs, are around whenever you need them
Songs, follow you wherever you lead them
Songs, they seem to come alive each time you sing 'em
Songs, you can play them straight or you can swing 'em

Songs, don't know how we'd get on without them
Songs, you can hum them, whistle or shout them
Songs can keep you company when you're alone
So find a song and you'll be halfway home
You can't go wrong
So believe in a song

They get you hummin'
You start a strummin'
Just keep 'em comin'
They get you goin'
You snap your fingers
The music lingers
You get some singers
To make a showin'

Words and music blending
Send you dancing in all the aisles
Songs can bring you memories
Of good times, big smiles

The band is jumpin'
The music's thumpin'
It's really somethin'
They hit the ceiling
A hot piano, a high soprano
Do what they can for a happy feeling

Songs bring you up when you're down
Songs are the best friends around
They're worth singin' about
All you need is a song

La La La La La
La La La La La

Okay, now let's put
Both parts together

Songs, are around whenever you need them
Songs, follow you wherever you lead them
Songs, they seem to come alive each time you sing 'em
Songs, you can play them straight or you can swing 'em

Songs, don't know how we'd get on without them
Songs, you can hum them, whistle or shout them
Songs can keep you company when you're alone
So find a song and you'll be halfway home
You can't go wrong
All you need is a song
You can't go wrong
All you need is a song

Songs!
