Lyrics
Anybody here who’s blue
Here’a word of cheer for you
Happiness, you’ll find
Is something in your mind
Think of how I used to be
Get me now; just look at me
Clouds have rolled away
And here I am today
Chorus
Sittin’ on a rainbow
High up on a rainbow
Laughin’ at the dark clouds rollin’ by
Listen to the bluebirds, pretty little bluebirds
Singin’ while the sun beams light the sky
They’re sayin’ “Bad Luck! Bad Luck!
On your way! On your way!
Good Luck! Good Luck! Come and stay”
Sittin’ on a rainbow
Lookin’ at the rain go
Laughin’ at the dark clouds rollin’ by
