Sunny Side Up
Earl Burnett
Words and music by B.G. DeSylva, Lew Brown and Ray Henderson.

Introduced by Janet Gaynor in the film "Sunny Side Up."
Sung by Sheree North in the 1956 film "The Best Things in Life Are Free."

Keep your sunny side up, up!
Hide the side that gets blue.
If you have nine sons in a row,
Baseball teams make money, you know!
Keep your funny side up, up!
Let your laughter come thru, do!
Stand upon your legs, be like two fried eggs,
Keep your sunny side up!
