Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa.

Verse 1:


 I keep singin' them sad, sad song, y'all;
                 
Sad song is all I know.

 I keep singin' them sad, sad song, y'all;
                 
Sad song is all I know.

Bridge 1:

                       
 It has a sweet melody, tonight,
                     
 Anybody can sing it, any old time.
                      
It got to your heart, put you in a groove,
    
And when you sing this song,
                  
It will make your whole body move. It goes;

Chorus 2:


 Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa fa, (your turn);
                     
Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa. (I'll turn);

 Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa fa, (your turn now);
                     
Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa.

Verse 2:


 All my life I've been singin' them sad songs,
                           
Trying to get my message to you.

 But you see, only song, y'all, I can sing,
And when I can hear you singing,
                     
My message will be to you. It goes;

Chorus 3:

Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa.

It's a,
                        
Lovely song, y'all, sweet music, honey.
                
It feels to life over, it tells a story over.
                                  
You got to get your message; a stone message, honey.
                                      
A lovely line, baby, I've been wanting a line, watch it.

 Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa fa, (one more time);
                     
Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa.

 Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa fa, (throw me the line y'all),
                     
Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa.
