Travel On The Sunshine Line 1919

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Jun 2004

I know a railroad where, they say,
they run excursions every day;
a smile is all you have to pay.
Just to escape dull care.
It's just the railroad for a trip.
When worry's got you in its grip;
so let's give Old Man Trouble the slip,
come and I'll take you there.

Come travel on the Sunshine Line,
it's a real fine line,
the cutest of railroads;
when you get aboard that train you'll find,
you'll throw your troubles overboard
and leave them behind.
All down the line thro' miles of smiles,
and the scenery is fine.
Pay your fare,
get away from Mister Care,
He's waiting at the wicket,
but he can't have a ticket.
Oh! Sonny, put your joy clothes on,
and travel on the Sunshine Line.

Come travel on the Sunshine Line,
it's a real fine line,
the cutest of railroads;
when you get aboard that train you'll find,
you'll throw your troubles overboard
and leave them behind.
All down the line thro' miles of smiles,
and the scenery is fine.
Pay your fare,
get away from Mister Care,
He's waiting at the wicket,
but he can't have a ticket.
Oh! Sonny, put your joy clothes on,
and travel on the Sunshine Line.

Upon this line you've got to smile,
for that is just the sunshine style;
but you can't stay there all the while,
you must come back some day.
For in this queer old world of ours,
we cannot always gather flowers,
but when your friends need sunshiny hours,
give them a smile, and say:

Come travel on the Sunshine Line,
it's a real fine line,
the cutest of railroads;
when you get aboard that train you'll find,
you'll throw your troubles overboard
and leave them behind.
All down the line thro' miles of smiles,
and the scenery is fine.
Pay your fare,
get away from Mister Care,
He's waiting at the wicket,
but he can't have a ticket.
Oh! Sonny, put your joy clothes on,
and travel on the Sunshine Line.

Come travel on the Sunshine Line,
it's a real fine line,
the cutest of railroads;
when you get aboard that train you'll find,
you'll throw your troubles overboard
and leave them behind.
All down the line thro' miles of smiles,
and the scenery is fine.
Pay your fare,
get away from Mister Care,
He's waiting at the wicket,
but he can't have a ticket.
Oh! Sonny, put your joy clothes on,
and travel on the Sunshine Line.
