If I were king for a day
to my advisers I'd say,
within my kingdom it's found
there's too much sadness around
let music come to our aid
command that music be made
let all the people parade
this shall be my decree:

Let the people sing
sing like anything
any sort of song they choose.
Let the people sing
let the welkin ring
anything to kill the blues.
Find a merry song to cheer them
Tell them that I long to hear them,
When things all go wrong
you will find a song
welcome as a breath of spring
therefore let the people sing.

Let the people sing
sing like anything
any sort of song they choose.
Let the people sing
let the welkin ring
anything to kill the blues.
Find a merry song to cheer them
Tell them that I long to hear them,
When things all go wrong
you will find a song
welcome as a breath of spring
therefore let the people sing.
