Original Broadway Cast of 42nd Street
Sunny Side to Every Situation
[ANNIE]
Sing tra la la la la la la la
The sun may never, ever shine

[???]
But tra la la la la la la la
Somewhere the weather's fine

[ANNIE & ENSEMBLE]
Long ago, one fine day
Some philosopher was heard to say

[MEN]
"There's a sunny side to ev'ry situation,"

[??? & ENSEMBLE]
And the same applies to you
His philosophy's still true

[ALL]
There's a funny side to ev'ry situation

[??]
You've no dough, so relax
You don't have to pay an income tax
[GIRLS]
You've no job so just pretend it's your vacation

[ALL]
Should the landlord raise your rent
Hum your nose and paint your tent
Ev'ry situation has a sunny side

Sing tra la la la la la la la
The sun may never, never shine
But tra la la la la la la la
Somewhere the weather's fine

[???]
With no bonds and no stocks
In your little safe deposit box

[ALL]
You can never be affected by inflation

[???]
When your car is out of gas
Then no red lights can you pass

[ALL]
Ev'ry situation has a sunny side
Ev'ry situation has a sunny side
