Riding On The Clouds - 1934 - Dame Gracie Fields

Dr. Pitt-Payne in LOndon UK - 20 Sept 2001

When that guy they call 'depression'
comes around to your front street door,
wear that 'sunny smile' expression
and he won't bother you no more;
tho' you've met him just forget him,
he'll put you in all wrong,
young and healthy, old and wealthy,
make this your cheerup song.

Riding on the clouds,
singing all the day,
playing with the sunbeams,
chasing care away,
ev'ry little trouble
bursting like a bubble,
riding on the clouds.
Happy Mister Sun wakes me up at five,
I'm a lucky fella,
glad to be alive,
never hear a moaner,
never meet a Jonah,
riding on the clouds.
All the lovely colours of the rainbow,
blending like a happy melody.
Gonna take the colours from the rainbow,
to make a Sunday dress for me.
Riding on the clouds,
way up in the sky,
found the silver lining
money cannot buy.
Never have to borrow
sorrow for tomorrow,
riding on the clouds.

Riding on the clouds,

playing with the sunbeams,
chasing care away,
ev'ry little trouble
bursting like a bubble,

I'm a lucky fella,
glad to be alive,
never hear a moaner,
never meet a Jonah,
riding on the clouds.
All the lovely colours of the rainbow,
blending like a happy melody.
Gonna take the colours from the rainbow,
to make a Sunday dress for me.
Riding on the clouds,
way up in the sky,
found the silver lining
money cannot buy.
Never have to borrow
sorrow for tomorrow,
riding on the clouds.

When those silv'ry clouds you saddle
for a trip to the sky so blue,
all your cares will soon skedaddle
while your heart beats a glad tattoo;
Sunbeams chasing! Gee it's bracing!
It's worth your while to try,
Just get happy! Make it snappy!
Bid all your blues 'Good bye'.

Riding on the clouds,
singing all the day,
playing with the sunbeams,

ev'ry little trouble
