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.
