Look a Little on the Sunny Side

Look a little on the sunnyside
 Even when they say you're on the slide
 And for a while, they'll say your records never make it
 But in a while they're gonna be showering you with praises
 They'll give you mediocre reviews
 And put you in the underground for a while
 But look a little on the funny, sunnyside of life
 Look a little on the sunnyside
 You sing 'em the blues
 And then they ask for a happy tune
 And when you start to smile
 They'll say gimme dat rhythm and blues
 And when you give 'em dat rhythm and blues
 They'll simply smile and say
 "We didn't want to hear you play
 We didn't like you anyway"
 It's very hard to please the people every single time
 But look a little on the sunnyside
 Look a little on the sunnyside
 Even when you feel you want to hide
 You've gotta laugh, don't let your critics ever upset you
 'Cos for a while, the cynics will all be out to get you
 You gotta be shrewd, you gotta be strong
 You gotta convince yourself that you are not wrong
 Whistle a tune and think of a catchy, happy, little song
 And look a little on the sunnyside
 It's very hard to please the people every single time
 But look a little on the sunnyside
 They're gonna put you down for a while
 You gotta learn to grit your teeth and smile
 Look a little on the funny, sunnyside of life
 Look a little on the sunnyside
