(WE'VE GOT TO) PUT THAT SUN BACK IN THE SKY
Words by Irving Kahal ; music by Joseph Meyer, ©1931.
As recorded by the Boswell Sisters, 1931.

VERSE: If you're happy blowin' bubbles,
You keep right on blowin' bubbles
Though the world may laugh at you;
But if you find that blowin' bubbles
Helps to chase away your troubles,
That's just the thing for you to do.

CHORUS: We've got to put the sun back in the sky,
Teach the little bluebirds just how to fly.
We'll start a-wingin' and you'll hear them singin',
Singin' once again.
We've got to put that smile back on each face,
Peddle good cheer ev'ry place.
All you do's keep hummin' cause spring is comin',
Comin' to the lane.
Ah, sing a little, croon a little tune.
Ah, [scat]
We've got to put that sun back in the sky,
Teach the little bluebirds just how to fly,
To make an I-love-you song of each blue song
Just as the time goes by.
Just keep right on smilin' when trouble's knockin' at your do'.
All you do is keep on smilin'; your trouble's bound to go.
[scat]
I wonder, wonder why you worry so.
We've got to put that sun back in the sky.
We've got to put that sun back in the sky,
When we put that sun, when we put that sun, when we put that sun back in the sky.
We're gonna put that smile back on your face.
We're gonna put that smile back on your face,
When we put that smile, when we put that smile, when we put that smile back on your face.
Sing a little, croon a little tune.
That's what we want under the moon.
We've got to put that sun back in the sky.
Gotta teach those bluebirds just how to fly,
To make an I-love-you song of each blue song
Just as the time goes by.
