Tony Bennett - On The Sunny Side Of The Street lyrics

Your rating:
Tony Bennett
 Lyrics by Dorothy Fields
 Music by Jimmy McHugh

 This version did not chart but
 In 1930, two versions did chart: Ted Lewis (# 2) and Harry Richman (# 30)
 Two more charted in 1945: Tommy Dorsey (# 16) and Jo Stafford (# 17)
 Sung by Richman in "Lew Leslie's International Revue"
 Sung in the 1951 film "On the Sunny Side Of the Street" by Frankie Laine
 Played by Teddy Wilson in the 1956 film "The Benny Goodman Story"


 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 those blues on parade
 But I'm not afraid because this rover crossed over!

 And 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 those blues on parade
 But I'm not afraid because this rover crossed over!

 And if I never had a cent
 I'd be rich as *Harry Belafonte*
 With *Barry Goldwater* at my feet
 On the sunny   side of the street


 TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Tony was obviously having some fun (*  *) in the last verse
