On The Sunny Side Of The Street

On The Sunny Side Of The Street

(Jimmy McHugh / Dorothy Fields) 1930


Aldwych Players, directed by Jay Wilbur


Grab your coat
And get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter-pat
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's crossed over
If I never have a cent
I'd be rich as Rock-e-fellow
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
