lyrics

LYRICS
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep,
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street.

Can you hear that pitter-pat?
Oh, 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 my blues on parade.
But now I'm not afraid. This rover's crossed over.

If I ever had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller.
With gold dust 'round my feet
On the sunny side of the street.
