[Intro]
Uh-hoo!

[Chorus]
It's a sunshine life for me
If I could get away from this cloud over me
Seems to just follow me around
It's a sunshine life for me
If I could get away from this cloud over me
Seems to just follow me around

[Verse 1]
There's a good life had for free
When you're out in the country
That's what I could use
If I could get away there soon

[Chorus]
It's a sunshine life for me
If I could get away from this cloud over me
Seems to just follow me around

[Verse 2]
There's a good life had at sea
If you're not in the navy
That's the life for you
Sail away, Raymond, sail away

Ho!Ah!

Now most folks just bore me
Always imposing
And I'd rather meet a tree
Somewhere out in the cornfield

[Bridge]
And it's a sunshine

[Chorus][x3]

[Outro]
And it's a sunshine
I said, sunshine
It's a sunshine
Ha! Ha! Ha! Hoo!

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
