[Verse 1]
Got no place to be
No one's needing me
My girl just said we're through
Love was here to stay
Only yesterday
Today my world is blue
[Chorus]
So show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music I just might go on
I gotta have a song
To go it alone
I gotta have a song
[Verse 2]
Had a happy home
Now it's turned to stone
Kitchen's cold and bare
She'd cook all day for me
I still hurry home to see
But I know that she's not there
[Chorus]
So show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music I just might go on
I gotta have a song
To go it alone
To a song
[Chorus]
Show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music, I just can't go wrong
I gotta have a song
A happy happy song
A happy happy song
I gotta have a song, baby
A happy happy song
I gotta have a song
Got no place to be
No one's needing me
My girl just said we're through
Love was here to stay
Only yesterday
Today my world is blue
[Chorus]
So show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music I just might go on
I gotta have a song
To go it alone
I gotta have a song
[Verse 2]
Had a happy home
Now it's turned to stone
Kitchen's cold and bare
She'd cook all day for me
I still hurry home to see
But I know that she's not there
[Chorus]
So show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music I just might go on
I gotta have a song
To go it alone
To a song
[Chorus]
Show me to where there's music
Show me to where there's music
With music, I just can't go wrong
I gotta have a song
A happy happy song
A happy happy song
I gotta have a song, baby
A happy happy song
I gotta have a song
