Baby, there's something going on Tuesday
Baby, there's something going on today
But if you swing swing, swing, swing swing swing
But if you sing sing, sing, sing sing sing
Fran Healy actually got the idea for this song when he had mtv on with the sound down, and he just started sing 'swing, swing, swing' which eventually turned into 'sing, sing sing!!!' *Weird but true..*
For the love you bring
Want me to think
Unless you sing.
For the love you bring
Won't mean a thing
Unless you sing.
For the love you bring
Warmth you bring
Unless you sing.
For the love you bring
Won't mean a thing
Unless you sing.
Sen, senhor sol
Sing, sing a song.
In Portuguese: Mister, Mister Sun
Shawty, won't you come back home?
Jenny, could you come back home?
Shirley, you've been going to Hurley.
Surely, you've been going to early.
Sing it for the deaf, sing it for the blind
Sing it for the death, sing it for the blood
Sing it for the death
Sing it for the deaf
Sing it from the heart, sing it to your nuts
Sing it from the heart, sing it till you're nuts
Sing it to your nuts.
Sing it 'til you're nuts.
Sing of happy nuts and....
Sing of happy not sad.
Sing of love and good beer.
Sing of love that could be.

'Sing' was originally by The Carpenters in 1973, besides 'On Top of the World' and 'Close To You'. They then used it on 'Sesame Street' with three puppets (I can't remember what they were) and a man (I don't know what his name is) conducting 'Sing'.
We found love right in your ass
