Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song) Lyrics

Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa

I keep singing them sad sad songs, ya all
Sad songs is all I know
I keep singing them sad sad songs, ya all Sad songs is all I know

It has a sweet melody tonight
Anybody can sing it any old time
What in your heart puts you in a groove
And when you sing this song
It'll make youre whole body move

Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Your turn
I'll turn Your turn, now

All my life I've been singing these sad songs
Trying to get my message to you
But this is the only song [y'all] I can sing
And when I get to singing my message to you

It goes

Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Your turn

Its a lovely song Its just alive
It tells a story
You've got to get your message
A strong message I'm worried alive
I'm worried alive [Watch me]

Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Your turn
Everybodys turn
Everybodys turn Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
One more time
Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa Worried alive

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Lyric help: It's not "I'll turn" lol... He's saying "Our turn".

I love this song. It's so sad. I like how he uses "Fa," it's almost pointless but that's all he come up with in his sadness.

Otis Redding was a genius. And the music is outstanding and just gets the body rocking.
