Rise 'n Shine
Lee Wiley · Other Songs - Lee Wiley
Stand up and take it!
Rise 'n' shine,
Life's what you make it!
If gloom, the so-and-so,
Should get you as it soon does,
Shout "Hi-de-hi-de-ho!",
Do just as the moon does!
Rise 'n' shine,
Don't be a mourner!
Things are fine
Around the corner!
No harm to trying it,
There's nothin' to it,
You can do it!
Like the sun, rise 'n' shine!
Rise 'n' shine,
Stand up and take it!
Rise 'n' shine,
Life's what you make it!
If gloom, the so-and-so,
Should get you as it soon does,
Shout "Hi-de-hi-de-ho!",
Do just as the moon does!
Rise 'n' shine,
Don't be a mourner!
Things are fine
Around the corner!
No harm to trying it,
There's nothin' to it,
You can do it!
Like the sun,
Have your fun!
Like the sun, rise 'n' shine!
