What care I who makes the laws of a nation?
Let those who will take care of it's right and wrongs
Who care I who cares for the world's affairs
As long as I can sing its popular songs?

Let me sing a sunny song with crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing I'm happy, happy
Let me sing a sad refrain of broken hearts that loved in vain
And if my song can start you crying I'm happy

Let me croon a low down blues that lifts you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes and
start you tapping your feet, I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms, the Swanee shore and mother's arms
And if my song can make you homesick, I'm happy

Let me croon a low down blues that lifts you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes and
start you tapping your feet, I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms, the Swanee shore and mother's arms
And if my song can make you homesick
Can start you laughing, can start you crying, I'm happy
