Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street
Oh, 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
Crossed over
Oh, I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'
Why mess around with strife?
Oh, I never was cut out to step and strut out
Give me the simple life
Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
Those things roll off my knife
Oh, oh, just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes
Give me the simple life
A cottage small is all I'm after
Not one that's spacious and wide
A house that rings with joy and laughter
And the ones you love inside
If I never have a cent
I'll be rich as rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
Oh, I know some like the high road, I take the low road
On the sunny side of the street
Oh, it made sound corny and seedy, but, oh, yes, indeedy
Give me the simple life, oh yeah
Give me the sunny side of the street
It made sound corny but the simple life is just for me and you can only find it on the sunny side of the street
Yeah
