I GOT TO SING-A   ("I Love to Sing-a"—Al Jolson, Cab Calloway, Eric Cartman, etc.)     
[Note: The opening vamp is E. Y. Harburg's original—No way I need to alter or can improve on that!]

           [Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!—
              Oh! ain't it grand
              To live and breathe and let your chest expand!
           Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!—
                 The skies are blue,
                 The world's a song, When life is notes to you.
                       I've got eternal youth because
                             I've got my heart where it belongs.
                       Don't care who makes the nation's laws,
                             Long as I can sing its songs.]

I got to sing-a
      'bout liberty,
      Don't tread on me, 
Let freedom ring-a.
I got to sing-a.
 About the bird in flight-a
 And the torch's light-a
       And to fling a
       Little zing-er
 At the left and right-a.
I got to, I got to sing!

 I've got a song-a
       That's going to expedite
       The right
 Against the wrong-a
 'Cause ars-a longa.
  Make it voluntary,
  And Laissez-faire-y
        With desire
        For acquir-
  ing my own fair share-y.
 I've got to, I've got to sing!

     It was grand
     To chant "...sweet land o'
                 Liberty!"
           But I was worshipping Big Broth-a.
     Read Ayn Rand,
     To understand
                 Liberty!
           One thing led to anoth-a.

  I love to sing-a
        It's my ambition
        To transition
        The tradition
  Of Dr. King-a.
              Add some Rothbard and some Spooner,
              And I'm proud to be a crooner
  Who's got to sing!
