ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET

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’t you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But I’m not afraid...this rover's crossed over

If I never had a cent
I’d be rich as rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street

(instrumental break)

I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now I’m not afraid... this rover has crossed over

Now if I never made one cent
I'll still be rich as rockefeller
There will be goldust at my feet
On the sunny
On the sunny, sunny side of the street

Words & Music by Dorothy Fields & Jimmy McHugh, 1929

This well-loved standard has its roots in the Depression.
A year after the Wall Street Crash Dorothy provided
songs for Lew Leslie's International Revue, including this
optimistic number, introduced by Harry Richman.



 
 
 
 

This is my personal interpretation, played on a MIDI keyboard and recorded in .wav format using SoundBlaster Audigy 2 SoundFont.  Conversion to MP3 was done using the versatile AED Tools
