What's there to sing about?
I ask you.
What's there to sing about, laddie?
Everything is falling down that
Wasn't down already,
What's there to sing about now, laddie, O?

What's there to sing about?
I ask you.
What's there to sing about, Johnny?
Whatever used to make us laugh
Isn't even funny,
What's there to sing about now, Johnny O?

What's there to sing about?
I ask you.
What's there to sing about, Baby,
Things we were so sure about
They aren't even maybe,
What's there to sing about, Baby O?

What's there to sing about?
I ask you.
What's there to sing about, Sally?
Love's become transient
Sleeping in the alley,
What's there to sing about, Sally O O.
