I'll sing you a song,
It won't take too long.
I'll sing it high...
I'll sing it strong.
Oh-o-oh, Lordy me,
Didn't we shake, sugareee,
Everything I love, I love in song.

Oh I've got a secret
That I now may tell.
I came from heaven
In a split pea shell.
Oh-o-oh, Lordy me,
Didn't we shake, sugareee,
Everything I love, I love in song.

First star on the left
Early in the morn.
Prettiest sight seen since the day
When love was born.
Oh-o-oh, Lordy me,
Didn't we shake, sugareee,
Everything I love, I love in song.

For love of the music
I came to be.
For love of the words and thoughts you'll sing
I'm in harmony!
Oh-o-oh, Lordy me,
Didn't we shake, sugareee,
Everything I love, I love in song.

Now if you're a singer,
And you'd like a song.
Just shed a tear upon this seed--
Grow it high and strong.
Oh-o-oh, Lordy me,
Didn't we shake, sugareee,
Everything I love, I love in song.

Oh-o-oh, Lordy me,
Didn't we shake, sugareee,
Everything I love, I love in song.
