It's A Fine Thing To Sing 1921 Lauder

We've had a lot of trouble
and we've had a lot of strife,
We've had our ups and downs
as we have journeyed on through life.
We've had our little squabbles
but they never lasted long,
Why because, just because
it's best to sing a song.

Oh it's a fine thing to sing,
singing is the thing,
it brightens ev'rything,
when dark and dreary.
It helps you on the road
when you have a heavy load,
singing is the thing
to make you cheery...

Oh it's a fine thing to sing,
singing is the thing,
it brightens ev'rything,
when dark and dreary.
It helps you on the road
when you have a heavy load,
singing is the thing
to make you cheery...

If ever you get worried
and you don't know what to do,
you've got the humpy dumpys
and you're feeling black and blue,
Do the same as I do,
I just simply jog along,
because there's nothing
stimulates a fellow like a song.

Oh it's a fine thing to sing,
singing is the thing,
it brightens ev'rything,
when dark and dreary.
It helps you on the road
when you have a heavy load,
singing is the thing
to make you cheery...

Oh it's a fine thing to sing,
singing is the thing,
it brightens ev'rything,
when dark and dreary.
It helps you on the road
when you have a heavy load,
singing is the thing
to make you cheery...

I'll bet a silver sixpence
singing helps to make us glad,
we can face the world singing
but we cannot if we're sad.
There's too much trouble in the world
I think you must agree.
We can make the world brighter
if you'll only sing with me

Oh it's a fine thing to sing,
singing is the thing,
it brightens ev'rything,
when dark and dreary.
It helps you on the road
when you have a heavy load,
singing is the thing
to make you cheery...

Oh it's a fine thing to sing,
singing is the thing,
it brightens ev'rything,
when dark and dreary.
It helps you on the road
when you have a heavy load,
singing is the thing
to make you cheery...

Of course we know there's sure to be
a kickup now and then,
because we've got to stand a lot,
We poor old married men,
but do the same as I do
when there's anything goes wrong.
I always say, says I to me:
"Come on and sing a song."

Oh it's a fine thing to sing,
singing is the thing,
it brightens ev'rything,
when dark and dreary.
It helps you on the road
when you have a heavy load,
singing is the thing
to make you cheery...

Oh it's a fine thing to sing,
singing is the thing,
it brightens ev'rything,
when dark and dreary.
It helps you on the road
when you have a heavy load,
singing is the thing
to make you cheery...
