Kickin' The Clouds Away 1925 'Tell Me More'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 11 Apr 2005

I just heard a spiritual,
one that ev'ry phonograph should own;
I know when you hear it you will
find that all your troubles have flown.
When the sky looks cloudy to you,
when the blue is turning gray,
it'll make the sun say:
"Howdy!" to you,
it'll drive your cares away.
Get all set and up on your toes,
this is the way it goes:

Come on along! You can't go wrong!
Kickin' the clouds away,
keep makin' hay,
kickin' the clouds away;
be wise and take it to heart,
and you will laugh from the start
to the end of a perfect day.
Get in the swing! Give it a fling!
Kickin' the clouds away!
Live while you may
shoutin' a big "Hey! Hey!"
It's not so easy to do,
what of it?
For, when you're through,
you'll love it!
Follow the dancin' crowds,
and kick the clouds away!

Come on along! You can't go wrong!
Kickin' the clouds away,
keep makin' hay,
kickin' the clouds away;
be wise and take it to heart,
and you will laugh from the start
to the end of a perfect day.
Get in the swing! Give it a fling!
Kickin' the clouds away!
Live while you may
shoutin' a big "Hey! Hey!"
It's not so easy to do,
what of it?
For, when you're through,
you'll love it!
Follow the dancin' crowds,
and kick the clouds away!
