Chorus 1:

Just call me Sunny, not sonny boy,
I'm spreading sunshine, I'm spreading joy.
I just keep humming the whole day long,
I love a good time, I love a song.
I love the ladies 'cause they've got charm,
There's nothing like a lovely girlie on your arm!
Folks say I'm flashy, and you know why.
They call me Sunny 'cause I'm just a sunny guy.

Patter:

I'm always happy when the day is done,
I'm even happy with the rising sun;
I whistle in the shower,
It only takes an hour
To shine my shoes, slick my hair,
Walk downtown with a delicate air.

Chorus 2:

Just call me Sunny, not sonny boy,
I'm selling sunshine, I'm selling joy.
If you need laughter, if you need cheer,
It works like magic when I appear.
I'm just a minstrel, a music man,
I sing a happy song no matter where I am.
I'm plain and fancy, I'm apple pie,
Just call me Sunny 'cause I'm just a sunny guy.

Tag (not in MIDI):

When clouds are gloomy, I light the sky,
They call me Sunny 'cause I'm just a sunny guy.
