When You Gotta Sing You Gotta Sing - Jack Buchanan, Jessie Matthews

I’m in the throes of an, oh, ecstatic feeling

My happiness is spread all over my face!

I feel the urge of a fondest piece of feeling;

There’s no containing it

There’s no restraining it!

When you gotta sing, you’ve got to sing

You can’t stop a heart that wants to go vocal

When you gotta dance, you’ve got to dance

Whether you’re Fred Astaire or only a yokel

The joy that bubbles within

Must have its way

Unless you’re made out o' tin

You’re gonna swing and sway!

When you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go

Into a song of relaxation

With or without recitation

When you gotta sing, you gotta sing!

(dance break)

The joy that bubbles within

Must have its way

Unless you’re made out o' tin

You’re gonna swing and sway!

When you gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go

Into a song of relaxation

With or without recitation

When you gotta sing, you gotta sing

When you gotta sing, you gotta sing!
