Sing Sang Song was the German entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1976 in The Hague performed by the Les Humphries Singers.

The song consists largely of the title being repeated. However, the other lyrics are a plea for global unity – to be provided by singing the song. Though the studio recording is in German, the live performance at the contest contained both German and English lyrics.

It had originally placed second in the 1976 German national final, but the original winner, Der Star, was disqualified as it had already been performed in public. Because of this, "Sing Sang Song" went to The Hague in its place.

It was performed 3rd on the night following Switzerland and preceding Israel. At the close of voting, it finished in 15th place with 12 points.

Sing, sang, sing, sang, song

Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song

Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song

Sing, sang, song
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Komm und sing mit mir
Denn singen macht uns alle frei

Sing, sang, song
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Sing, was dir gefällt
Mit uns und für die ganze Welt

(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)

Dass Menschen sich in Liebe finden
Dafür ist Singen gut
Denn nur die Musik bringt alle
Alle unter einen Hut

Wenn Lieder diese Welt verbinden
Zerstört sie keiner mehr
Das ist unser Weg
Komm her, wir brauchen dich so sehr
(Sing, sang, song)

Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song

Sing, sang, song
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Komm und sing mit mir
Denn singen macht uns alle frei

(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Sing, was dir gefällt
Mit uns und für die ganze Welt

(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)

Was hat der Mensch von seinem Leben
Wenn er nur denkt und zählt?
Liebe und Musik, das ist es
Was so vielen leider fehlt

Verloren sind die schönsten Stunden
Wenn nicht ein Lied erklingt
Liebe und Musik, das ist es
Was uns Freude bringt
(Sing, sang, song)

Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song
Singe, sang, song

Sing, sang, song
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song, shalala…)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Komm und sing mit mir
Denn singen macht uns alle frei

Sing, sang, song
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song, shalala…)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Sing, was dir gefällt
Mit uns und für die ganze Welt

(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)

Sing, was dir gefällt
Mit uns und für die ganze Welt
(Sing, sang, sing, sang, song)

Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song, ooh…

Sing, sang, sing, sang, song

Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song

Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song

Sing, sang, song
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Come and sing with me
Because singing frees us all

Sing, sang, song
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Sing what you want
With us and for the whole world

(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)

That people find each other at love
That’s what singing is good for
Because only music brings us all
All together

If songs connect this world
No one will destroy it
This is our way
Come here, we need you so much
(Sing, sang, song)

Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song

Sing, sang, song
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Come and sing with me
Because singing frees us all

Sing, sang, song
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Sing what you want
With us and for the whole world

(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)

What kind of life does a human have
When he only thinks and counts?
Love and music, that’s it
What so many people are sadly missing

The best times are lost
When no song is heard
Love and music, that’s it
What brings us joy
(Sing, sang, song)

Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song (Shalala…)
Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song
Singe, sang, song

Sing, sang, song
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song, shalala…)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Come and sing with me
Because singing frees us all

Sing, sang, song
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song, shalala…)
(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)
Sing what you want
With us and for the whole world

(Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song)

Sing what you want
With us and for the whole world
(Sing, sang, sing, sang, song)

Sing, sang, song, singe, sang, song, ooh…
