[Verse 1]
I walked up the street with a smile
To greet all of the passing strangers
And I don't know why everybody's so shy
Or maybe they're feeling blue
There's been a thing that's going on
It feels like melancholy has dawned
Where is the music? Where has it gone?
Somebody, come on

[Chorus]
Sing me a song, any kinda song
Let's get together and make right all the wrongs
Sing me a song, any kinda song
Do me a favor and sing 'til the blues are gone
It's been way too long with all that's going on
Since I've had the pleasure to hear a happy song
Sing me a song, now

[Verse 2]
I was sitting in the park, just before it got dark
When I heard an alarm
And I can't figure out why it is that I hear
Only sad songs in the atmosphere
There's been a thing that's going on
It feels like melancholy has dawned
Where is the music? Where has it gone?
Somebody, come on
[Chorus]
Sing me a song, any kinda song
Let's get together and make right all the wrongs
Sing me a song, any kinda song
Do me a favor and sing 'til the blues are gone
It's been way too long with all that's going on
Since I've had the pleasure to hear a happy song
Sing me a song, now
Sing me a song, now

[Bridge]
I went across town and then underground
To catch home the train
And that's when I heard the sweetest of sounds
A young child singing for change
I said, "Where you been, child, all day?
I've been searching everywhere for somebody like you
To sing a happy tune"
Come on

[Chorus]
Sing me a song, any kinda song
Let's get together and make right all the wrongs
Sing me a song, any kinda song
Do me a favor and sing 'til the blues are gone
Sing me a song, any kinda song
Let's get together and make right all the wrongs
Sing me a song, any kinda song
Do me a favor and sing 'til the blues are gone
Sing a happy song, come on
Sing a happy song
