From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"On the Sunny Side of the Street" is a 1930 song
composed by Jimmy McHugh, with lyrics by Dorothy Fields.
Having become a jazz standard,
it was played (usually as an instrumental)
by such greats as Dave Brubeck, Louis Armstrong,
Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Errol Garner, Dizzy Gillespie,
and Count Basie.

Frankie Laine had a hit with his recording,
and the song also was recorded by other leading vocalists,
including Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra.
Arguably the best known arrangement is found in the 1945
record by Tommy Dorsey and the Sentimentaists.
The children's group Sharon Lois and Bram
recorded a version for their Sing A to Z recording.
Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt
recorded their well-known version on their Sonny Side Up album.

The lyrics begin:

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 my blues on parade
But Im not afraid...this rover? s crossed over
If I never had a cent
Id be rich as rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
(instrumental break)
I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now Im not afraid... this rover has crossed over
Now if I never made one cent
I? ll still be rich as rockefeller
There will be goldust at my feet
On the sunny
On the sunny, sunny side of the street
