Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street
[Verse 2]
Now 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
[Bridge]
I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
I'm not afraid
This rover has crossed over
[Verse 3]
Now if I never had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny, sunny side of the street
[Bridge]
I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid
That this rover has crossed over
[Verse 4]
If I never had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller, and that's what he is
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny
Stay on the sunny
It's real crazy
On the sunny side of the street
