Look a Little on the Sunny Side

Look a little on the sunnyside 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, sunnyside of life Look a little on the sunnyside 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 anyway" It's very hard to please the people every single time But look a little on the sunnyside Look a little on the sunnyside Even when you feel you want to hide You've 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 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 sunnyside It's very hard to please the people every single time But look a little on the sunnyside They're gonna put you down for a while You gotta learn to grit your teeth and smile Look a little on the funny, sunnyside of life Look a little on the sunnyside
