Got A Rainbow 1928 'Treasure Girl'

by James Pitt-Payne, LOndon UK - 04 Feb 2005

[Larry:] Born on the thirteenth,
on a Friday.
Somehow I've lived to tell the tale;
every day is one blue sky day.
whether there's sunshine or a gale.
I've got a rainbow seeing me through,
shining for me alone.
Why should you wait for rainbows
when you can carry your own?

What makes my misery fly
when clouds are dark in the sky?
Got a "Rainbow 'round my shoulder!"
The wolf who knocked at my door,
he doesn't knock any more:
Got a "Rainbow 'round my shoulder!"
Oh, it may rain and it may thunder,
but I've no reason to frown;
for with a rainbow in town,
a good man is never down!
So, blues get out of my way;
the joys are coming to stay,
with a rainbow always aroun'!

If I should see a black cat,
I snap my fingers at that.
Got a "Rainbow 'roun my shoulder!"
When under ladders I stroll,
I find it good for my soul.
Got a "Rainbow 'roun my shoulder!"
I've broken sixty seven mirrors,
and spilt a barrel of salt,
still I've not come to a halt,
a good man never is down!
There's no blue Monday for me;
from Heebee Jeebies I'm free
with a rainbow always aroun'!
