Song Lyrics

Oh! It's a good day, for singin' a song,
An' it's a good day for movin' along,
Yes, it's a good day, how could anything go wrong?
A good day from mornin' 'till night!

Yes it's a good day, ( it's a lovely day for shinin' ) for shinin' your shoes
An' it's a good day ( if you wan' a silver linin' ) for losin' the blues
( You got... ) Everything t' gain ( everythin' t' gain and nuthin' ) and nuthin' t' lose,
'Cause it's a good day from mornin' to night! ( You're right! )

I said to the sun, "Good Mornin' Sun!"
"Rise an' shine t'day!"
You know you gotta get goin' if you're gonna make a showin'
And you know you got the right of way!

'Cause it's a good day for payin' your bills,
And it's a good day for curin' your ills,
So, take a deep breath, throw away all your pills,
'Cause it's a good day from mornin' 'till night!

Just this very day, I said to the sun, "Good Mornin' Sun!"
"Rise an' shine, why don't you rise and shine?"
You know you gotta get goin' if you want to make a showin'
And you know you've got the right of way!

'Cause it's a good day for payin' your bills,
And it's a ' good ' day for curin' your ills,
So, take a deep breath ( Ahhh! ) throw away all your pills,
'Cause it's a good day from mornin' 'till night! ( Say that again! )

Oh it's a good day from mornin' 'til night ( That's what he said! )
Yes it's a good day from mornin' 'til night!
