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 
puts 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. 
 
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.
