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
