It's a Good Day
Dave Barbour & His Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yes, it's a good day for singin' a song
And it's a good day for movin' along
Yes, it's a good day, how could anything be wrong
A good day from mornin' till night

Yes, it's a good day for shinin' your shoes
And it's a good day for losin' the blues
Everything to gain and nothin' to lose

A good day from mornin' till night

I said to the sun, good mornin', sun
Rise and shine, today
You know you've gotta get goin'
If you're gonna make a showin'
And 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 and throw away the pills
'Cause it's a good day from mornin' till night

Good morning sun, good mornin', sun
Rise and shine, today
You know you've gotta get goin'
If you're gonna make a showin'
And you've got the right of way

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

A good day from mornin' till night
A good day from mornin' till night
