**[Intro – Piano only, big smile]**

*(Boogie-woogie bass walk-up, bright treble chords popping like sunshine)*

Doo-doo-DOO-doo, da-da-DAT-da! Sunflowers and SUNSHINE!

**[Verse 1]**  
Wakin’ up with the rooster, golden light on my face  
Sunflowers stretchin’ tall, dancin’ all over the place  
They twist to the left, they twist to the right  
Chasin’ that big ol’ ball of fire burnin’ up the sky so bright!

**[Pre-Chorus – horns stab in]**  
Left hand’s struttin’, right hand’s flyin’  
Blues in the pocket but nobody’s cryin’!

**[Chorus – everybody sing!]**  
**Sunflowers and Sunshine!** (Hey!)  
**Makin’ my heart shine!** (Shine!)  
**Ragtime fingers poppin’, bluesy bass is thumpin’**  
**Jazz in my veins and the whole world’s jumpin’!**  
Turn your face to the light, let your spirit climb  
**Sunflowers and Sunshine** — all the time!

**[Verse 2 – faster, sassier]**  
Got that syncopated strut in every step I take  
Butterflies doin’ the Charleston round the flowerbed lake  
Pickin’ up the tempo, feel the rhythm in my shoes  
Even the bumblebees are swingin’ to the news!

**[Pre-Chorus – horns answer back]**  
Left hand’s rollin’, right hand’s rollin’  
Whole band’s smilin’, nobody’s trollin’!

**[Chorus – bigger!]**  
**Sunflowers and Sunshine!** (Hey!)  
**Makin’ my heart shine!** (Shine!)  
**Ragtime fingers poppin’, bluesy bass is thumpin’**  
**Jazz in my veins and the whole world’s jumpin’!**  
Turn your face to the light, let your spirit climb  
**Sunflowers and Sunshine** — all the time!

**[Bridge – stop-time, then explode]**  
When the clouds try to crash the party (crash!)  
Sunflowers just laugh and say “not today, buddy!” (no way!)  
One little ray sneaks through, hits me in the eye  
And suddenly the whole band’s shoutin’ “HI-DE-HI!”

**[Final Chorus – double-time, full energy, crowd clapping on 2 & 4]**  
**Sunflowers and Sunshine!** (Hey-hey!)  
**Makin’ my heart shine!** (Shine-shine!)  
**Ragtime, blues, and jazz all in one big line**  
**We’re dancin’ through the day, feelin’ so fine!**  
Grab your partner, spin ’em round, everybody climb  
**Sunflowers and Sunshine** — ALL THE TIME!

**[Outro – piano solo break, then full band shout]**  
Doo-doo-DOO-doo, da-da-DAT-da!  
Sunflowers and SUNSHINE!

(Last chord hits with a big bright major-6 sparkle)

....... YEAH!!!
