Let Me Sing and I'm Happy
Melodies of Emotion: A Musical Rollercoaster of Laughter and Tears
Lyrics
Let me sing a funny song
Desire to perform a humorous song
With crazy words that roll along
Using nonsensical, playful lyrics
And if my song can start you laughing
Hope to evoke laughter through the song
I'm happy, yeah happy
Expressing happiness if successful in making people laugh
Let me sing a sad refrain
Wish to sing a sorrowful melody
Of broken hearts that loved in vain
Depicting unrequited love and heartbreak
And if my song can start you crying
Desire to elicit tears through the song
I'm happy
Expressing contentment if successful in making people cry
Let me croon a lowdown blues
Willingness to perform a melancholic blues tune
To lift you out of your seat
Intention to captivate the audience
If my song can reach your shoes
Belief that the song's rhythm can affect listeners deeply
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy
Expressing happiness if the song brings about movement or emotion
Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Desire to sing about the alluring aspects of Dixie (Southern US)
The Swanee Shore and Mammy's Arms
Specific references to nostalgic Southern elements
And if my song can make you homesick
Hoping the song triggers homesickness
I'm happy
Contentment if successful in evoking nostalgia
Let me croon a lowdown blues
Reiteration of performing a melancholic blues piece
To lift you out of your seat
Desire to engage and uplift the audience
If my song can reach your shoes
Belief in the song's ability to prompt movement
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy
Expressing happiness if the song elicits a response
Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Repeating desire to sing about appealing aspects of Dixie
The Swanee Shore and Mammy's Arms
Restating nostalgic references to the Southern region
And if my song can make you homesick
Wish to induce homesickness through the song
I'm happy
Contentment if successful in evoking homesickness
