42nd Street Soundtrack Sunny Side To Every Situation Lyrics

Sunny Side To Every Situation Lyrics

Annie and Ensemble:

 Sing tra la la la la la la la,

 The sun may never, never shine,

 But tra la la la la la la la,

 Somewhere the weather's fine.

 

 Long ago, one fine day,

 Some philosopher was heard to say,

 "There's a sunny side to ev'ry situation,"

 And the same applies to you,

 His philosophy's still true,

 There's a funny side to ev'ry situation.

 

 You've no dough, so relax,

 You don't have to pay an income tax.

 You've no job so just pretend it's your vacation.

 Should the landlord raise your rent

 Hum your nose and paint your tent

 Ev'ry situation has a sunny side.

 

 Sing tra la la la la la la la,

 The sun may never, never shine,

 But tra la la la la la la la,

 Somewhere the weather's fine.

 

 With no bonds and no stocks

 In your little safe deposit box,

 You can never be affected by inflation.

 When your car is out of gas,

 Then no red lights can you pass,

 Ev'ry situation has a sunny side.

 Ev'ry situation has a sunny side.

 

 Additional Verse:

 Though some eggs are dark outside,

 They look diff'rent when they're fried,

 Ev'ry situation has a sunny side.

 

 When it rains, when it pours,

 Think how nice it is to stay indoors,

 There's a sunny side of ev'ry situation.

 When your rent is overdue,

 Let the landlord fret for you,

 There's a funny side to ev'ry situation.

 

 When you broke, through and through,

 Folks can't borrow anything from you,

 That is what we call the law of compensation.

 When it's rainin' cats and dogs,

 Think how swell it is for frogs,

 Ev'ry situation has a sunny side.

 

 When you lose all you own

 And they take away your telephone,

 And you feel that you are out of circulation,

 Say, you're lucky after all,

 Those insurance men can't call,

 Ev'ry situation has a sunny side.
