Sunny Side Of The Street Lyrics - Standards & Practices - Face To Face

Seen the carnival at Rome 

Had the women, I had the booze 

All I can remember now 

Is little kids without no shoes 

So I saw that train and I got on it 

With a heartful of hate and a lust for vomit 

Now I'm walking on the sunny side of the street 

Stepped over bodies in Bombay 

Tried to make it to the U.S.A. 

Ended up in Nepal 

Up on the roof with nothing at all 

And I knew that day I was going to stay 

Right where I am, on the sunny side of the street 

Been in a palace, been in a jail 

I just don't want to be reborn a snail 

Just want to spend eternity 

Right where I am, on the sunny side of the street 

As my mother wept it was then I swore 

To take my life as I would a whore 

I know I'm better than before 

They will not be reconstructed 

Just wanna stay right here 

On the sunny side of the street 

On the sunny side of the street 

On the sunny side of the street 

Sunny side of the street
