[edit] About the Song

In the 26 January 1973 episode of The Brady Bunch (Amateur Night), the Brady kids want to raise money to buy their parents a new silver platter for their anniversary. However, Jan mixes up the price. When the children go to buy the new platter, the clerk tells them that they don't have enough money. So, the kids decide to enter a new amateur singing contest. They call their group The Silver Platters, since that's what they want to buy.

On the night of the television airing, the kids' parents, Carol and Mike, don't know that their children are live on TV. When they do find out, they are surprised. The two songs the children sing are Keep On and It's a Sunshine Day. The kids end up winning the contest and giving the silver platter to their parents.

[edit] Lyrics

I think I'll go for a walk outside now
The summer sun's callin' my name
(I hear ya now)
I just can't stay inside all day
I gotta get out, get me some of those rays
Everybody's smiling
(Sunshine Day)
Everybody's laughing
(Sunshine Day)
Everybody seems so happy today
Cause it's a sunshine day
I think I'll go for a walk outside now
The summer sun knows me by name
(He's a-calling me)
I gotta out, gotta get out, gotta get away
Gotta get away, get away, get away, get away --
It's a Sunshine Day
Can't you feel the sunshine
Love and Sun are the same
Can't you hear him callin' your name?
Oh, I think I'll take a walk everyday now
The summer sun has shown me the way
(To be happy now)
I just can't stay inside all day
I gotta get out, get me some of those rays
Everybody's smiling
(Sunshine Day)
Everybody's laughing
(Sunshine Day)
Everybody seems so happy today
Cause it's a sunshine day
Can't you feel the sunshine
Love and Sun are the same
Can't you hear him callin' your name?
I think I'll go for a walk outside now
The summer sun callin' my name
(I hear ya now)
I just can't stay inside all day
I gotta get out, get me some of those rays
Everybody's smiling
(Sunshine Day)
Everybody's laughing
(Sunshine Day)
Everybody seems so happy today
Cause it's a sunshine day
