Whatever picture we may.

Rich man and poor man, the devil, the saint,

All are painting pictures every day. 

Some paint in colors of wonderful hue,

While others use colors of strife.

Every word, every thought, everything that we do,

goes down on our canvas of life.

So—dip your brush in the sunshine

And keep on painting away

Make love a duty,
And you will find beauty,

Wherever your eyes may stray.

Life will seem worthwhile living,

And skies will never be grey.

So dip your brush in the sunshine,

And keep on painting away!”

—J.C. Johnson and Andy Razaf, “Dip Your Brush in the Sunshine”, 1928.
