Mister Sunshine

MISTER SUNSHINE Allison Sharp
Back in my town all the kids around
Say hey there’s Mister Sunshine
Just this old guy, always had a smile
And happy face stickers or some candy for a crying child
Worked at the grocery store thirty years or more
Everybody knows Mister Sunshine
Have you heard the news, they say
Mister Sunshine died today, and the sky went gray
Just a normal day like any other day
The last one for Mister Sunshine
Helping Mrs. Green with her groceries
Little Imogene stepped into the street
Some hot rodding fool thinking he was cool
No one saw him but Mister Sunshine
Have you heard the news, they say
Mister Sunshine died today, and the sky went gray
On the evening news, channel forty two
Lead story was Hero Saves Child
You know, I never knew his name was Larry, did you
Took care of Mary Rose his wife who had a stroke
He fought back in the War, got a Silver Star
Everbody loves Mister Sunshine
Have you heard the news, they say
Mister Sunshine died today, and the sky went gray
Back in my town all the kids around
Say, Hey there’s Mister Sunshine
Just this old guy, always had a smile
And happy face stickers or some candy for a crying child
Worked at the grocery store thirty years or more
Everybody knows Mister Sunshine
