Oh Jonah he was desperate in the belly of the whale
Well Jonah had a plan, he knew he couldn't fail


He raised his head on high
And looking for the sky
And he sang his song so pretty
The whale told him goodbye


* You got to sing you children sing
Sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody
Sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away


Well Moses said good Lord
Open up these waters for me
So I can get your chidren
Across the salty sea


Well the Lord parted the waters
And singing hand in hand
Moses and the children
Walked over to the promised land


You got to sing you children sing (everybody)
Sing you children sing (Hallelujah)
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody
Sing you children sing (Hallelujah)
Sing your troubles away


Oh Joshua had a plan
At the walls of Jericho
He'd march around those walls
And on his horn he'd blow


That horn would play a tune
And sing a happy song
When Joshua got through
Those walls came tumbling down


* Repeat
You got to sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
