Didn't find anything on a Crazy Elmer. Did find a song by Neil Sedaka:

(You Gotta) Make Your Own Sunshine

======================================================

MAKE YOUR OWN SUNSHINE
As recorded by "Crazy Elmer"

"Do it yourself" is the popular way
To get all the things that you need every day.
A bookcase, a hotrod, a lamp for the shelf--
If you want a Cadillac, just build it yourself.

You'll learn all these things just by reading a book.
(You can even make money if you know where to look.)
Rain has been made to come down from the sky,
But can you make sunshine? You can if you try!

CHORUS: Make your own sunshine. Don't wait for the sun.
Try a little yodel. You'll find that it's fun!
Get busy and hide all your clouds on the shelf.
Don't wait for the sunshine. Just make it yourself!

(Yodeling)

(Instrumental break)

Honey is made by the bees all day long.
Acorns make oak trees that grow big and strong.
The birdies make music. Sunshine makes hay.
A yodel makes sunshine to brighten your day.

Springtime makes young people think of romance.
Some of the brave ones give marriage a chance.
They try very hard to make life a success.
This rule makes it easy to find happiness.

(Chorus)

(Yodeling)

Sunshine?

I know about moonshine, but what is this sunshine?
