"The Sun has Got His Hat On" (Ambrose & his Orchestra, 1932)
A cheery British Depression-busting song which was featured in the late '80's revival of \"Me and My Gal\".
One of Ralph Butler & Noel Gay's collaborations, here rendered by crooner Sam Browne with the incomparable Ambrose Band:
THE SUN HAS GOT HIS HAT ON
(Ralph Butler / Noel Gay)
Ambrose & His Orchestra (vocal: Sam Browne)
The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he's coming out today
Now we'll all be happy, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he's coming out to play.
So jump into your sunbath, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he's coming out today
All the little birds are singing
All the little gnats are stinging
All the little bees in twos and threes
Buzzing in the sun all day
(Orchestral Interlude)
(Band singing)
The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray
(Sam)
All the boys excited,
All the little girls delighted
What a lot of fun for everyone
Sitting in the sun all day\"
