And it rains away
As il 'twould never
Again be fair
The sun is shining
Somewhere where
What if the ham
We eat, and lamb
And eggs and jam
Are not the purest
Kind Of fare
The sun is shining
Somewhere, some where!
What if you're broke
And Stunned by folk
Aud wish to croak,
With nothing to eat
But gulps of air
The sun is shining
Somewhere, somewhere!

With pleasure fraught,
That we always ought
To find lots of glee
In sad affair
Since the sun is shining
