Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And 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 for shinin' your shoes,
And it's a good day for losin' the blues,
Ev'rything to gain and nothin' to lose,
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 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 and throw away your pills,
Cause it's a good day from mornin' till night.

Oh yeah! This is awesome! I did this tune for my first jury in my jazz degree program; I wish I had thought to do such an awesome arrangement for it.
