I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But now I’m not afraid; trouble’s over, I’ve crossed over
If I never have a cent, I’ll be as rich as Rockfeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street
Swing version
Grab your coat; don’t forget your hat
We’ll leave your worries, leave them on the doorstep
Life’s sweet,
Just direct your feet to the sun, sunny side of the street
Hop bop a doddle zag pitter pat
You know that happy tune is my step
Life’s all-reet if you dig that beat
On the sunny, sunny side of the street
Used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
What a drag old man, getting stuck in the shade
Get hip, don’t be afraid
Move it on over; feel yourself in the clover
Only hip for a cent. Who cares?
Rich as Rockefeller, can’t be beat
Go down from my feet On the sunny, sunny side of the street
