"Plenty Of Sunshine"
Brunswick 3737
1927
Song by Buddy De Sylva, Lew Brown, Ray Henderson
Two little rubes came to the city
Oh, what a thrill they had
One little rube was glad
One little rube was sad
That little rube just left the city
Left his little pard
Here's the note that he wrote
Upon a postal card
I'm hobnobbin' with my horse Dobbin
I left my job in the city
I'm sittin' pretty with plenty of sunshine
Wash my face in the old tin basin
And start in racin' with Rover
We bubble over with plenty of sunshine
Read my paper 'neath an apple tree
No skyscrapers keep the sun from me
The house is roomy, the garden's bloomy
There's no place gloomy to mope in
I'm in the open with plenty of sunshine
While you're in the traffic jam
Picture me, say, here I am
Sittin' with my fishing pole
Let the sunshine in my soul
While you gaze at four bare walls
If you see my overalls
Hangin' on a hickory limb
'Cause the brook's there, take a swim
Plenty of fun, plenty of air
Plenty of sun, plenty to spare
Brother, if you're not in pain
You'll be on that morning train
