"Come on and Sing" Lyrics

(Mel Tillis)

Come on and sing girl
Sing boy, sing a happy song
Come on and sing girl
Sing boy, this old world may not last long.

Most everybody's doing too much fighting
And there's not enough singing going on
How many people have you ever seen fight
While they were singing a song.

Come on and sing girl
Sing boy, sing a happy song
Come on and sing girl
Sing boy, this old world may not last long.

Most everybody's mistreating one another
Just fight a personal game
But that wouldn't happen to the sisters and the brothers
When they hold back their heads and sing.

Come on and sing girl
Sing boy, sing a happy song
Come on and sing girl
Sing boy, this old world may not last long.

--- Instrumental ---

Most everybody's doing too much talking
Talking it and just get mad
So if all that talking's gonna make you unhappy
Why don't just sing and be glad.

Come on and sing girl
Sing boy, sing a happy song
Come on and sing girl
Sing boy, this old world may not last long...
