Come on and Sing

(Mel Tillis)



Come on and sing girl

Sing boy, sing a happy song

Come on and sing girl

Sing boy, this old world may not last long.



Most everybody's doing too much fighting

And there's not enough singing going on

How many people have you ever seen fight

While they were singing a song.



Come on and sing girl

Sing boy, sing a happy song

Come on and sing girl

Sing boy, this old world may not last long.



Most everybody's mistreating one another

Just fight a personal game

But that wouldn't happen to the sisters and the brothers

When they hold back their heads and sing.



Come on and sing girl

Sing boy, sing a happy song

Come on and sing girl

Sing boy, this old world may not last long.

Most everybody's doing too much talking

Talking it and just get mad

So if all that talking's gonna make you unhappy

Why don't just sing and be glad.



Come on and sing girl

Sing boy, sing a happy song

Come on and sing girl

Sing boy, this old world may not last long...
