Lyrics

INTRO:
Singin' it out to the people; singin' it out to them all
Singin' my song and they're singin' along
All of my problems are oh so small
All of my problems are so small

CHORUS: I sing it um ba de dum ba de da dee dee
Dum ba de dum ba de dum ba de dada
Ba de dum ba de dum ba de da dee dee
Dum ba de dum ba de dum ba de da

Singin' it out in the mornin'; singin' it out in the night
Makin' it clear 'cause I want them to hear
We can make everything quite all right

We can make everything all right

CHORUS

BREAK: Doo doo.....

Yes, I know! I know when a heart sinks low, so low, so low
We can talk to one another; for the love is strong
And it can't go wrong

CHORUS

(Meg 2017)

Fun Fact

Before The Partridge Family, Jones turned down the role of Carol Brady on The Brady Bunch.

Jones almost became another famous TV mom: before The Partridge Family came along, she was offered the part of Carol Brady. "While the idea of playing the mother in The Brady Bunch was initially attractive to me, I turned it down because I didn't want to be the mother taking the roast out of the oven and no doing much else," she writes. However, accepting the part on The Partridge Family was a much easier decision. "I had no doubts at all about playing Shirley Partridge," Jones writes. "First, because she was destined to become the first working mother on TV and I loved the script. Second, because working on the series would let me be an almost full-time mom and raise my kids."  (Nguyen, 2023)
