(KEEP YOUR) SUNNY SIDE UP
Words by Buddy De Sylva & Lew Brown, music by Ray Henderson, ©1929.
From the film "Sunny Side Up" (1929)
As recorded by Chick Endor with Leonard Joy's Orchestra.

VERSE 1: There's one thing to think of when you're blue:
There are others much worse off than you.
If a load of trouble should arrive,
Laugh and say it's great to be alive.

CHORUS 1: And keep your sunny side up, up!
Hide the side that gets blue.
If you have nine sons in a row,
Baseball teams make money, you know.
Keep your funny side up, up!
Let your laughter come through, do!
Stand upon your legs.
Be like two fried eggs.
Keep your sunny side up.

VERSE 2: Life can be a pleasure or a pain,
Good or bad, successful or in vain.
Happiness is just a point of view.
If you have it, here's the thing to do:

CHORUS 2: Keep your sunny side up, up!
Drown a frown with a smile.
If you think it's raining for you,
Just remember others are blue.
Always look for the bright side.
Start the day on the right side.
You'll find life worthwhile.
Learn to wear a smile.
Keep your sunny side up.

[Lyrics recorded by Earl Burtnett and His Biltmore Hotel Orchestra:]

Keep your sunny side up, up!
Hide the side that gets blue.
If you can't buy lobster and cake,
You're in luck; your tummy won't ache.
Keep your funny side up, up!
Let your laughter come through, do!
If you meet with gloom,
Don't "faw down go boom." *
Keep your sunny side up.

[* "I faw down an' go boom!" was a popular song title. I think it was a popular catch phrase before that, but I haven't been able to trace its origin.]
