ON THE SUNNY SIDE
OF THE STREET 1930
GRAB YOUR COAT AND GET YOUR HAT.
LEAVE YOUR WORRIES
ON THE DOORSTEP.
JUST DIRECT YOUR FEET
TO THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET.
CAN’T YOU HEAR THAT PITTER- PAT?
AND THAT HAPPY TUNE IS YOUR STEP.
LIFE CAN BE SO SWEET
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET.
I USED TO WALK IN THE SHADE
WITH THOSE BLUES ON PARADE.
BUT I’M NOT AFRAID;
THIS ROVER, CROSSED OVER.
IF I NEVER HAD A CENT,
I’D BE RICH AS ROCKEFELLER.
GOLD DUST AT MY FEET,
ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET.
Walked with no one and talked with no one
And I had nothing but shadows
Then one morning you passed
And I brightened at last
Now I greet the day and complete the day
With the sun in my heart
All my worry blew away
When you taught me how to say
