“And when I got home, Harold’s coat and hat were gone, his worries were on the doorstep, and Gladys Mitchell, my neighbor, says she saw him heading west, on the sunny side of the street.”

    Context for those who’ve never heard the reference.

    (Original was by Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields, and a ton of other jazz artists have covered it too.)

      More specifically the lyrics from the first verse:

      [Verse 1]
      Grab your coat, grab your hat, baby
      Leave your worries on the doorstep
      Just direct your feet
      On the sunny side of the street

      [Verse 2]
      Can’t you hear that pitter-pat
      The happy tune is your step
      Life can be so sweet
      On the sunny side of the street

      [Bridge]
      I used to walk in the shade
      With those blues on parade, oh
      But I’m not afraid, baby
      My rover crossed over, yes

      [Verse 3]
      If I never have a cent
      I’ll be rich as Rockefeller, yes
      Gold dust at my feet
      On the sunny side of the street
