On the Sunny Side of the Street lyrics

[Lyrics begin at 1:40]

Grab your coat

Grab your hat baby

Leave your worries on the doorstep

Just direct your feet

On the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear that pitter-pat [there]?

The happy tune is your step, and

Life can be so sweet

On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade

With those blues on parade, oh

But I'm not afraid, Baby

My rovin' crossed over, oh yes

If I never have a cent, Babe

I'd be rich as Rockefellow*, yes

Gold dust at my feet

On the sunny side of the street

And get your coat!

Grab your hat!

Leave your worries on the doorstep

Just direct your feet

On the sunny side of the street [scat] and

Can't you hear that pitter-pat?

Oh! The happy tune is your steps

Life could be so sweet

On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade

Yes, with those blues on parade

Now Mama, now I'm not afraid, Baby

[Scat] yes

And if I never ever have a cent

I'd be rich as Rockefellow, Babe

With gold dust at my feet

On the sunny side of the street
