Mister Sunshine

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 Copyright 2013. 2015.
