"Livin' in the Sunlight" (Maurice Chevalier, 1930)

Spongebob's popular version of this Al Sherman-Al Lewis ditty is set to Tiny Tim's campy 1960's retread rather than Maurice Chevalier's superb original, written by Al Sherman & Al Lewis for the 1930 Paramount musical, "The Big Pond" (from which also came Chevalier's "You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me"). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LIVIN' IN THE SUNLIGHT, LOVIN' IN THE MOONLIGHT I'm so happy! Happy-go-lucky me. I just go my way, living every day, I don't worry, worrying don't agree, Winter, Fall and Spring, I just smile and sing: Things that bother you never bother me, I think everything's fine! Livin' in the sunlight, lovin' in the moonlight, having a glorious time! Haven't got a lot, I don't need a lot, Coffee's only a dime, Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight, Having a marvelous time. Just take it from me, I'm just as free as any dove, I do what I like, just when I like, and how I love it! I don't give a whoot, give my cares the boot, All the world is in rhyme, Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight, Having a wonderful time! I go swimmin' with pretty women. and I find life is divine, Swimmin' in the sunlight, swimmin' in the moonlight--having a glorious time! When I'm stepping out with my runabout, How we step is a crime! Starting in the moonlight, ending in the sunlight, Having a marvelous time! I take what I like, get what I like once in a while, But if she says "no", I let her go and keep on smiling! I'm right here to stay, when I'm old and gray, I'll be right in my prime, Kissing in the sunlight, laughing in the moonlight, Having a wonderful time! I'm right here to stay, when I'm old and gray, I'll be right in my prime, Kissing in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight, Having a wonderful time!
