Written for my grandchildren, and inspired by my oldest who was frustrated when I kept singing instructions to him instead of yelling at him to get his coat. He asked "Drandma! Why you gotta SING all the time!!!"

lyrics

Why do I sing?
Because I'm happy!
Why do I sing?
Because I'm sad.
Why do I sing?
Because I'm bored
Why do I sing?
Because I'm MAD!
I like to sing for lots of reasons but the best reason I do
Is because when I sing
I can sing with you!

Why do I sing?
Because I'm happy!
Singing makes the happiness grow
Why do I sing?
Because I'm sad.
Singing makes the sadness go!
Why do I sing?
Because I'm bored
And it gives me something to do
Why do I sing?
Because I'm MAD!
But I can't stay mad if I sing with you
I like to sing for lots of reasons but the best reason I do
Is because when I sing
I can sing with you!
