Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Grab your coat and get your hat

Leave your worry on the doorstep

Just direct your feet

To the sunny side of the street

[Verse 2]

Can't you heart a pitter-pat?

And that happy tune is your step

Life can be so sweet

On a sunny side of the street

[Verse 3]

I used to walk in the shade

With those blues on parade

But I'm not afraid

This rover crossed over

[Verse 4]

If I never have a cent

I'll be rich as Rockefeller

Gold dust at my feet

On the sunny side of the street

[Verse 5]

I used to walk in a shade

With those blues on parade

But I'm not afraid

This rover is crossed over

[Verse 6]

If I never, never have a cent

I'll be rich as Rockefeller

With gold dust at my feet

On a sunny side of the street

On the sunny, sunny side of the street
