As Long as I'm Singing

"As long as I'm singin'
     There's a bell
     Up in my brain that's ringin'
     Makin' a crazy ding dong.

    And if this band don't desert me
     Then there's nothin'
     In the world can hurt me
     Long as I'm singin' my song.
    Give me trumpets ... legato
    Put some saxes with 'em
     Strings ... pizzicato
     Add some rhythm.

     As long as I'm singin'
     Then the world's all right
     And everything's swingin'
     Long as I'm singin' my song.
     Ummmm … makin' music  
     Is more to me than a pleasure
     'cause me and music
     We go together like notes in a measure.

   Long as I'm singin'
     Then the world's all right
     And everything's swingin'
     Long as I'm singin' my ...

     Long as I'm singin' my ...      
     Long as I'm singin' my song.
