I Love To Sing-A - Lyrics - Cab Calloway

Cabell "Cab" Calloway III was a jazz singer and bandleader. He was strongly associated with the Cotton Club in Harlem, New York City, where he was a regular performer.

I love to sing-a About a moon-a and a June-a and a spring-a, I love to sing-a, About a sky of blue-a, and a tea for two-a, Anything-a with a swing-a, or a "I love you-a," I love, I love to sing! Give me a song-a About a son-a gun that went and done her wrong-a. But keep it clean-a, By a cottage small-a with a waterfall-a, Any sob-a that will throb-a to a bluebird's call-a, I love, I love to sing! I was born a singin' fool-a, Lah-de-dah! Ol' Major Bowes is gonna spot me, Got through Yale with boula-boula, Lah-de-dah! Old microphone's got me! I love to sing-a, I love to wake up with the south-a in my mouth- a, And wave a flag-a, With a cheer for Uncle Sammy and another for my mammy, I love to sing! The swingin'est, Hot singin'est, Bell-ringin'est, Song singin'est High tootin'est, Sky tootin'est, I love to sing!
