The sheet music:
Lyrics
- Come on children and gather ‘roun’
I’ve got a lot to tell
Because the clouds are grumbling
Don’t think the world is tumbling
No need worryin’, lose that frown
You’ll soon be feelin’ well
A little home philosophy
Will help you shake that spell
Chorus:
Change all of your gray skies
Turn them into gay skies
And keep sweeping the cobwebs off the moon
What good is your pining
Find your silver lining
And keep sweeping the cobwebs off the moon
You’ll make the clouds hurry away
Humming a lovely love song
Some, some lucky day somebody may come along
Chase all of your sorrow
Take care of tomorrow
And keep sweeping the cobwebs off the moon
- Some want sunshine and some want rain
We look thru different eyes
We all make money funny ways
Umbrella men hate sunny days
Some keep sighin’ without a pain
They never realize
What’s bound to be is bound to be
And here’s what I advise
