The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorised in the United States as a British Invasion band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era.

Look a little on the sunny side 
Even when they say you're on the slide
And for a while they'll say your records never make it
But in a while they're gonna be showering you with praises
They'll give you mediocre reviews 
And put you in the underground for a while
But look a little on the funny, sunny side of life 
Look a little on the sunny side
You sing 'em the blues 
And then they ask for a happy tune
And when you start to smile they'll say gimme dat rhythm and blues
And when you give 'em dat rhythm and blues they'll simply smile and say 
We didn't want to hear you play
We didn't like you any way
It's very hard to please the people every single time
But look a little on the sunny side
Look a little on the sunny side 
Even when you feel you want to hide 
You gotta laugh, don't let your critics ever upset you
Cause for a while the cynics will all be out to get you
You gotta be shrewd, you gotta be strong 
You've gotta convince yourself that you are not wrong
Whistle a tune and think of a catchy, happy, little song 
And look a little on the sunny side
It's very hard to please the people every single time
But look a little on the sunny side 
They're gonna put you down for a while 
You've got to learn to grit your teeth and smile 
And look a little on the funny, sunny side of life
Look a little on the sunny side
