The Kinks - Look a Little on the Sunny Side lyrics
[The Kinks - Look a Little on the Sunny Side lyrics]
Look a little on the sunny side
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
Sunny side of life
Look a little on the sunny side
You sing 'em the blues and then
They ask for a happy tune
And when you start to smile
They'll say gimme that rhythm and blues
And when you give 'em the rhythm and
Blues they'll simply smile and say
"We didn't want to hear you play
We didn't like you any way"
It's very hard to please
The people every single time
But look a little on the sunny side
Look a little on the sunny side
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 sunny side
It's very hard to please
The people every single time
But look a little on the sunny side
They're gonna put you down for a while
You got to learn to grit your teeth and smile
Look a little on the funny
Sunny side of life
Look a little on the sunny side
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
Sunny side of life
Look a little on the sunny side
You sing 'em the blues and then
They ask for a happy tune
And when you start to smile
They'll say gimme that rhythm and blues
And when you give 'em the rhythm and
Blues they'll simply smile and say
"We didn't want to hear you play
We didn't like you any way"
It's very hard to please
The people every single time
But look a little on the sunny side
Look a little on the sunny side
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 sunny side
It's very hard to please
The people every single time
But look a little on the sunny side
They're gonna put you down for a while
You got to learn to grit your teeth and smile
Look a little on the funny
Sunny side of life
Look a little on the sunny side
