Hi and whoop hooray boysA
Sing a song of cheerB
Here's a holiday boysA
Lasting half a yearB
Round the world and half isC
Shadow we have triedD
Now we're where the laugh isC
On the sunny sideD
-
Pigeons coo and mutterE
Strutting high aloofF
Where the sunbeans flutterE
Through the stable roofF
Hear the chickens cheep boysA
And the hen with prideD
Clucking them to sleep boysA
On the sunny sideD
-
Hear the clacking guineaG
Hear the cattle mooH
Hear the horses whinnyG
Looking out at youH
On the hitching block boysA
Grandly satisfiedD
See the old peacock boysA
On the sunny sideD
-
Robins in the peach treeG
Bluebirds in the pearI
Blossoms over each treeG
In the orchard thereI
All the world's in joy boysA
Glad and glorifiedD
As a romping boy boysA
On the sunny sideD
-
Where's a heart as mellowJ
Where's a soul as freeG
Where is any fellowJ
We would rather beG
Just ourselves or none boysA
World around and wideD
Laughing in the sun boysA
On the sunny sideD
