I've actually thought of this as well, so you're not alone in that regard.
"Tell me so I say." Tell you so you can say what?
Not that I hate the song or feel a little snarky, just that I like to joke about it to myself every time it pops up, since the first time I heard it and without having paid particular attention to the lyrics that part I actually thought those were the lyrics. And until now, despite already having read the lyrics and the context, it still stands out to me.

I feel like the intonation and meter make a rendering of "tell me, so I say" preferred---it separates the imperative from what's basically metrical filler (we...don't really need to be told who is speaking, nor that they are insisting [commanding, even!] on being told, but it sounds weird to have nothing there, so here we are). The comma might be ommitted because the line isn't sung with an actual pause there---it's sung all together, and including the comma might give the person singing along the wrong impression of the upcoming line.

I never imagined it with a comma but rather with quotation marks, as if pulled out of a story's dialogue - "tell me!" so I say.
