Alright, I wrote a song the other day but unfortunately, I can't seem to come up with a title for it. (Another Drinking Song was already taken by Flogging Molly, sadly.) Would Hatrack care to help? It's sung as a jig, by the way.
(Verse One)
Aye, the sailors have their shanties,
And the Irish have their jigs
And if ye sing not with them
Then they’ll throw ye in the brig!
(Chorus)
For the world likes to sing,
And sing a merry song
So grab a mug o’ rum
An’ try to sing along!
If yer singin’ with us
Nothin’ can go wrong,
So grab yerself a pint
An’ bellow out this song!
(Verse Two)
Oh! The Swedes- they like to yodel
Or is that the Swiss?
An’ if yer way out West,
Then Country cannot miss!
The islands have their reggae and
The cities have their rap,
But if you sing a lover’s ballad
Yer just a worthless sap!
(Repeat Chorus)
For the world likes to sing,
And sing a merry song
So grab a mug o’ rum
An’ try to sing along!
If yer singin’ with us
Nothin’ can go wrong,
So grab yerself a pint
An’ bellow out this song!
(Verse Three)
Rock and Roll’s for teens,
With nothin’ else to do
While rockers enjoy metal,
And old folks sing the blues,
Though some of them like music
Called ‘classical’ by you
Kinda makes me wonder:
What was it called when it was new?
(Repeat Chorus)
For the world likes to sing,
And sing a merry song
So grab a mug o’ rum
An’ try to sing along!
If yer singin’ with us
Nothin’ can go wrong,
So grab yerself a pint
An’ bellow out this song!
(Verse Four)
In Spain they like their Latin,
Though the Romans are all dead,
The tribals chant their rythms
(I think they’re rotten in the head)
Big band belongs to zoot suits
And flappers own the scat,
And as for things like disco,
Well, who the hell wants that?
(Repeat Chorus)
For the world likes to sing,
And sing a merry song
So grab a mug o’ rum
An’ try to sing along!
If yer singin’ with us
Nothin’ can go wrong,
So grab yerself a pint
An’ bellow out this song!
(Verse Five)
All the world over,
People sing their tunes,
Dancing in the nighttime
Humming around noon
No matter what we do
Music’s here to stay
So just buckle down,
And do exactly as we say!
(Repeat Chorus)
For the world likes to sing,
And sing a merry song
So grab a mug o’ rum
An’ try to sing along!
If yer singin’ with us
Nothin’ can go wrong,
So grab yerself a pint
An’ bellow out this song!
