Out on the street there is sunshine,
When two friends meet there is sunshine,
When life is sweet there is sunshine,
Sunshine in my heart. (Repeat)
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine in my heart.
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine in my heart.
Doot doo doo doo doot, doot doo doo.
Doot doo doo doo doot doot.
Doot doo doo doo doot, doot doo doo.
Doot doo doo doo doot doot.
Out on the street there is sunshine,
When two friends meet there is sunshine,
When life is sweet there is sunshine,
Sunshine in my heart.
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine in my heart.
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine in my heart.
Out on the street there is sunshine,
When two friends meet there is sunshine,
When life is sweet there is sunshine,
Sunshine in my heart.
Sunshine in my heart.
Sunshine in my heart.

Reviews
Great song love the tune and the lyrics are great aswell and when you sing it you have got a lovely feeling inside
Great song, The style swing really suits it.
I am looking for a few fun songs like I wanna sing scat for Year 3s.
Really enjoyed this song. We sang it with about 300 other primary school pupils at the Devon Mini-Mix. Brilliant and easy to learn.
it is very sweet
A great song, which lends itself to signing. Few words and lots of repetition, so very good for a special needs setting.
Love this... I run a singing club for year R, 1 & 2 so am always on the look out for simple but fun modern music. Thanks!
very very VERY good!!!!!!
