When I was a little boy
My momma said to me,
`Son, when you grow up
You'll see a top of joy to be.'
I was always wholesome,
Nice and bright polite,
That was what my momma said,
I didn't have to hide.

'My son you'll be the sun of all,
My son they'll call you "SunShine",
SunShine, son.'

When I chew my chewing-gum
I think like I'm the one.
The when all my daddy said
Makes swift and keen my run,
`You will always go on
To reach the highest point.'
That was what my daddy said,
I never miss a plate.

'My son you'll be the sun of all,
My son they'll call you "SunShine",
SunShine, son.'

When I learned to be my self
Brought up with what I know,
Then when all the much I knew
I'd commonly would show,
Named and tamed and turnstiled too
Not little did I want,
Much is what I need from you
And me for much I meet.

'My son you'll be the sun of all,
My son they'll call you "SunShine",
SunShine, son.'

Now when Mom and Dad do ask,
`Where will your music go?'
All I think is what I had
When SunShine they did know.
In the world of voices,
I have to prove them right,
Tight I try to make it too,
To make it overnight.

'My son you'll be the sun of all,
My son they'll call you "SunShine",
SunShine, son.'
