Shirley is one of the most famous interpreters of this Irving Berlin tune. She sang it at Royal Albert Hall in 1973, at Talk Of The Town in 1972, in her BBC show in 1976 and in many concerts, for example Australia 1978.

Lyrics:



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

Let me croon a low down blues to lift 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
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick I'm happy

I'm happy

Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick I'm happy
