|
Look a little on the sunny side |
|
Even when they say you're on the slide, |
|
And for a while they'll say your records never make it, |
|
But in a while they're gonna be showering you with praises. |
|
They'll give you mediocre reviews |
|
And put you in the underground for a while, |
|
But look a little on the funny, sunny side of life, |
|
Look a little on the sunny side. |
|
You sing 'em the blues |
|
And then they ask for a happy tune, |
|
And when you start to smile they'll say gimme dat rhythm and blues, |
|
And when you give 'em dat rhythm and blues they'll simply smile and say |
|
We didn't want to hear you play, |
|
We didn't like you any way. |
|
It's very hard to please the people every single time, |
|
But look a little on the sunny side. |
|
Look a little on the sunny side |
|
Even when you feel you want to hide, |
|
You gotta laugh, don't let your critics ever upset you, |
|
'Cos for a while the cynics will all be out to get you. |
|
You gotta be shrewd, you gotta be strong |
|
You've gotta convince yourself that you are not wrong, |
|
Whistle a tune and think of a catchy, happy, little song |
|
And look a little on the sunny side. |
|
It's very hard to please the people every single time, |
|
But look a little on the sunny side. |
|
They're gonna put you down for a while |
|
You've got to learn to grit your teeth and smile |
|
And look a little on the funny, sunny side of life, |
|
Look a little on the sunny side. |
