Lyrics
On The Sunny Side Of The Street
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Grab your coat and get your hat,
Leave your worry on the doorstep,
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street.
Can't you hear a pitterpat?
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 have a cent
I'll be rich as Rockefeller,
Gold dust at my feet,
On the sunny side of the street.
