The sheet music:


Lyrics

  1. 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

  1. 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
