Can't Help Singing

Can't Help Singing
music by Jerome Kern (center)
lyric by Otto Harbach (top right)

Humming bird, mocking bird, listen to me;

I got no nest, I got no tree.

Oh, but I'm happy as heaven is wide;

I got a song bubbling inside.

Can't help singing of a promise that April is bringing,

I am floating along on the crest of a song.

There are bells in my heart and they're ringing.

Can't help crowing, folks don't like it, I know, but I'm glowing:

I can't help what they say; spring affects me this way,

And I gotta keep singing all day...
