Jon Batiste

Featuring: Stay Human

Songwriter: Dorothy Fields

Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the door step
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear the pitter-pat
Oh a happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear the pitter-pat
Oh a happy tune is your step
Just direct your feet
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade
With my blues on parade
But I'm not afraid
'Cause this rover done crossed over
If I never have a cent, babe
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
With gold dust at my feet, babe
On the sunny side of the street
