The Joy of Singing
Dedicated to Mrs. Carson
Chorus:
Singing was the medicine, medicine, medicine,
Singing was the medicine for the soul.
She sang wherever she was going, she was going, she was going,
She sang wherever she was going, that’s what made her whole. She taught music everywhere, everywhere, everywhere,
She taught music everywhere all around the world.
Singing was the medicine, medicine, medicine,
Singing was the medicine for the soul.
She was born April 12, 1923
She loved sliding on the snow,
She loved swimming in the pool
She won a singing contest called “One Fine Day.”
