Sing a song that’s happy,
make a sound that’s glad;
write four and twenty kind words
of greeting in a card.
Now sing a song of sorrow,
pack it full of grief;
chalk four and twenty mad words,
graffiti on a wall.
Let out all your anger,
give up all your hate;
Join up with the blackbirds,
in case it’s not too late.
