This is a really good day, a really good day
The sun’s shining bright. What more can I say?
Any day it starts to feel okay is a really good day
That’s right! It’s a really good day
I read somewhere when you’re in despair
Don’t forget what you’re grateful for
You can draw slow circles in the air
Try using the F-word whenever you swear
When you’re full of doubt, when you’re down and out
Try growing more facial hair
It’ll quietly convey what you somehow need to say:
“Fuck it! I don’t really care!” (I don’t really care)
‘Cause it’s a really good day, a really good day
The sun’s shining bright. What more can I say?
Any day it starts to feel okay is a really good day
It’s a really good day
Doc says my cuckoo’s nest is better than the rest
When it comes to smarts, I’m off the charts
If my shadow can reunite, if my X-factor can get it right
Everything should be just fine
When I kindly pointed out that somehow I had figured out
He’d given a friend of mine the very same line
He said if I want to fiddle-faddle
I’ll be up Shit Creek without a paddle
And we’ll have to start all over again (start all over again)
But it’s a really good day, a really good day
The sun’s shining bright. What more can I say?
Any day it starts to feel okay is a really good day
It’s a really good day
How many hours does it take to grow the flowers?
To know, you’d have to be there.
How much pain does it take to stop the rain?
It’s always more than I think I can bare
In the grand scheme of things, alone with my dreams
It seems I never quite get there
But in the source of those dreams
In my love of beautiful things
It’s as though I’m already there
Much more than just there, I’m everywhere
Much more than just there, I’m everywhere
‘Cause it’s a really good day, a really good day
The sun’s shining bright. What more can I say?
Any day it starts to feel okay is a really good day
It’s a really good day
