Mister Sun is a whimsical and lighthearted song that captures the feeling of longing for brighter days amidst a dreary, cold atmosphere.
The lyrics paint a world where everything feels dull and lifeless, with the sky, weather, and even people’s moods weighed down by the absence of sunshine. Through vivid imagery, the song compares the grey day to an “elephant’s pyjamas” and uses playful metaphors like “pigeons turning blue” and “breath floating in the air like a white rose” to convey the chill in the air and the sense of melancholy.
The central plea of the song is a hopeful cry for the sun to emerge, bringing warmth, joy, and color back to the world. The chorus, with its repeated request for “Mister Sun” to come out from behind the “dark curtain,” reflects a desire for relief from the gloom, symbolizing how the presence of sunshine can brighten both the external world and the inner spirit. The lyrics also express the uplifting power of the sun, turning a “black and white” world into a “brighter” one, where possibilities are revived, and hearts are lighter.
This playful, yet poignant song combines whimsical language with a simple yet powerful message of hope and renewal, offering a reminder that sometimes, all we need is a little sunshine to make everything feel right again.

Mister Sun lyrics
The day’s just as grey
As an elephant’s pyjamas
Even the pigeon’s are turning blue
My breath is freezing too
It floats in the air like a white rose
The sky’s as red as coco the clown’s nose
These days are not so rare and few
Oh Mister Sun, Mister Sun
Come out from behind that dark curtain
If you do then everything will be fun
That’s for certain, that’s for certain
Oh Mister Sun, Mister Sun
Come out from behind that dark curtain
If you do then everything will be fun
That’s for certain, that’s for certain
The light’s black and white
Just like yesterday’s newspaper
People wear faces like thunder clouds
Their guts are rumbling loud
They search for the bridge like they’re lost sheep
But they won’t cross the water is too deep
It’s time to take off the Sun’s shroud
So Mister Sun, Mister Sun
Come rise up again it’s the morning
In my heart I always knew you’re the one
The day’s dawning, the day’s dawning
So Mister Sun, Mister Sun
Come rise up again it’s the morning
In my heart I always knew you’re the one
The day’s dawning, the day’s dawning
The drain’s full of rain
That my colander umbrella
Couldn’t stop wholly from falling through
My boots are leaking too
I’m wet from my head down to my toes
I just want to get dry inside then just doze
With out the Sun what shall we do?
Please Mister Sun, Mister Sun
With you up above the world is brighter
What was once lost suddenly can be won
The heart’s lighter, the heart’s lighter
Please Mister Sun, Mister Sun
With you up above the world is brighter
What was once lost suddenly can be won
The heart’s lighter, the heart’s lighter
The day’s just as grey
As an elephant’s pyjamas
Even the pigeon’s are turning blue
My breath is freezing too
It floats in the air like a white rose
The sky’s as red as coco the clown’s nose
These days are not so rare and few
Oh Mister Sun, Mister Sun
Come out from behind that dark curtain
If you do then everything will be fun
That’s for certain, that’s for certain
Oh Mister Sun, Mister Sun
Come out from behind that dark curtain
If you do then everything will be fun
That’s for certain, that’s for certain
