On the Sunny Side of the Street

Dizzy Gillespie

 

 

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-patter?
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 the blues on parade
But I’m not afraid
I'm crossing over and I'm walking in clovers

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

I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now I’m not afraid
I'm crossing over and walking in clovers

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