You think it’s /so divine a little bit of /sunshine

                C-       /Bb                        /Ab              /G

So carry /on uh-huh and sing that /sweet sweet song

Don’t think it’s all so fine that little bit of music

Don’t say it’s so divine that little bit of sunshine

Don’t carry on and on about that sweet sweet song

That little bit of music that little bit of sunshine.

Mama tells the girls to listen

Go home and bake 50 loaves of bread

And when they’re done come back and throw them against the wall

Can you hear it?

That noise

That noise

Such a noise

Please stop the noise

Solo

You think it’s all so fine a little bit of music

You think it’s so divine a little bit of sunshine

So carry on uh-huh and sing that sweet sweet song

A little bit of music, a little bit of sunshine.

A little bit of music, a little bit of sunshine.

  1. Jen this is remarkable! I love the combo of visual and audio … the melody, lyrics (hmmm, very interesting with throwing the loaves of bread, uh-huh … so timely). I’d love to try the chords on the piano; haven’t hardly been playing but this is so inspiring. Congratulations~~~~

    • Hi Cathyrn….thanks for commenting. Actually….I’d like that if you did try playing the thing. With the chords written out…sort of…and the audio there to help you, it would work. I’ve not been playing much either these days to be honest…
