Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boy, grab your coat, grab your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
On the sunny side of the street
[Verse 2]
Can't you hear that pitter-patter?
Yes, happy tune, your step, baby
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
[Verse 3]
I used to walk in the shadows, little baby
Walk with those blues on parade, ooh
But I'm not afraid, yes sir
[Verse 4]
Never have I said, "I'll be rich as Rockefeller"
No sir, gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
