Bob Zentz
You ask me to sing my
favorite song, well I guess you don’t understand
(C-F-C-Am-F-G-C)
I’ve been up here pickin’
all night long, while you play stump the band
(C-F-C-Am-F-G-C-C7)
But I call ‘em as I see
‘em, and I see ‘em all the time (F-C-Am-F-G)
And any song I sing for you is a favorite song of mine
(C-G-C-F-C-G-C)
I wouldn’t sing ‘em if I didn’t like ‘em, I wouldn’t like ‘em
if I didn’t care
I wouldn’t care if you didn’t listen, but there’s a lot of good
songs out there
Some songs are just like the people I know, some people like the songs I
sing
And I never sang a song that I didn’t love, or no song that didn’t
love me
2.
Now I’d like to introduce the jukebox, you’ve all used him before
Plays exactly what you pay
him to, well, I don’t do that no more
‘Cause I don’t know
none of his tunes, and he sure doesn’t play none of mine
Friends, I gotta say, I
never plan it that way, but we both seem to get along fine
(chorus)
3.
Now some of these songs take you travelin’, and some of them take you
home
Some might make you laugh a
bit, and some are good when you’re all alone
And some’ll introduce you
to people that you wouldn’t ordinarily know
These songs of mine, I sing
‘em all the time, and I take ‘em everywhere that I go
(chorus)
4. So
here’s a toast to you who listen, here’s a word for them that don’t
If you listen you might
hear something new, but if you never listen, you won’t
So open your ears and open
your mind and I’ll sing you my favorite song
‘Cause it’s right out
there with the folks who care that your favorite songs belong
(chorus)
