lyrics

Poor Sunshine

Shrinking the violet bleeds hot lemonade
And gaze blackly out on the lucky parade
Sun raining down, god bless the shade
Where the dogs all gather for panting

Turning the burning orb screams with a wink
“Fire for all and nothing to drink”
And wrestling with the nighttime he loses and sinks
Singing: “Darkness for all your crying”

And my poor old sunshine is dying

So sickness he reigns his jubilant feat
And rides the poor saddle boys, Davy and Pete
A cold summer week on Malaria street
Where sleep is the only releasing

And my poor old sunshine is still breathing

Trumpet by Stan Martin
