Jim Dixon Lyr Req: Depression Era Songs (104* d) Lyr Add: WE'RE OUT OF THE RED (Brown/Gorney) 20 Nov 16


WE'RE OUT OF THE RED
Words by Lew Brown, music by Jay Gorney, © 1934; from the film "Stand Up and Cheer."
As recorded by Ramona [Davies] and her Park Avenue Boys.

Pull yourself together; the future is bright.
The skies are clearing overhead.
… stormy weather; a rainbow's in sight.
We're out of the red.

Straighten out that wrinkle and kiss it goodbye.
You're heading for a feather-bed.
Put that little twinkle right back in your eye.
We're out of the red.

Sing hallelujah! Follow the crowd.
The march of victory is on.
Sing hallelujah! Sing it out loud,
Because the big bad wolf is gone.

Let's begin inviting the neighbors to call,
Then prepare a new-year spread.
Can't you see the writing upon ev'ry wall?
The worst is over.
Here comes the clover.
We're out of the red.

[The catalog entry at Indiana University indicates there is a missing verse that begins: "Oh, hear ye me! Mister gloom's been hovering near ye,"]
