♪ So things may seem blue, but what does that matter to you, when you're singing?

Hey, don't you ever knock!

You're too loud!

Keep it down, or you'll wake everybody in town with your singing!

Aww!

You look rough and half-dead.

Did you get out the wrong side of bed?

Let's keep singing!

Ah!

I've been ripped from the wall, but it feels like no trouble at all, cause I'm singing!

My wife hates my guts, and my neighbors are driving me nuts, but I'm singing!

I'm tired, underpaid, my hair prematurely grayed, but I'm singing!

A bird stole my shoes, I thought I had nothing to lose, still I'm singing!

Hey!

My fists all night shift, my mind is startling to bamboo, but I'm singing!

My face looks a state, though I've only just turned twenty-eight, still I'm singing!

My head's up in space, I've got aeroplanes stuck in my face, but I'm singing!

These kids are all brats, and the school is infested with rats, still I'm singing!

Ah!

My life's on the skids, got a hundred and seventy kids, still I'm singing!
