At the Music Hall: The Sun Has Got His Hat On, 1932

The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he's coming out today
Now we'll all be happy, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he's coming out to play.
So jump into your sunbath, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he's coming out today
All the little birds are singing
All the little gnats are stinging
All the little bees in twos and threes
Buzzing in the sun all day

Singer Sam Browne (1898 – 1972) was an English dance band singer, and can be considered one of the most popular British dance band vocalists of the 1930s. He is best known for singing with Jack Hylton and with Ambrose and his Orchestra, at the Mayfair Hotel and Embassy Club.
