Verse:

Walked with no one, and talked with no one, and I had nothing but shadows.

Then one morning you passed, and I brightened at last.

Now I greet the day, and complete the day, with the sun in my heart.

All my worry blew away when you taught me how to say:

 

Chorus:

Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry on the door step,

Just di -rect your feet, to the Sunny Side of the Street.

Can't you hear the 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.

If I never have a cent, I'll be rich as Rockefeller.

Gold dust at my feet, On The Sunny Side of The Street.
