Today Is Gonna Be a Great Day
Little Apple Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's 104 days of summer vacation
Till school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it

Like maybe building a rocket or fighting a mummy
Or climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Discovering something that doesn't exist
Or giving a monkey a shower

Surfing tidal waves, creating nanobots
Or locating Frankenstein's brain
Finding a dodo bird, painting a continent
Or driving our sister insane

This could possibly be the best day ever
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be
A million and six times better

So make every minute count
Jump up, jump in and seize the day
And let's make sure that in every single possible way
Today is gonna to be a great day

Crossing the tundra or building a roller coaster
Or skiing down a mountain of beans
Devising a system for remembering everything
Or synchronizing submarines

Racing chariots, taming tiger sharks
Constructing a portal to Mars
Building a time machine, stretching a rubber tree
Or wailing away on guitars

This could possibly be the best day ever
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be
A million and six times better

So make every minute count
Jump up, jump in and seize the day
And let's make sure that in every single possible way
Today is gonna to be a great day

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Let's put our heads together and design a master plan
We may miss dinner but I know mom will understand

We got our mission in suppliers
Yogurt, gumballs and desire
And a pocketful of rubber bands
The manual on handstands

Unicycle, compass
And a camera that won't focus
And a canteen full of soda
Grab a beach towel here we go
This is Ferb-tastic

This could possibly be the best day ever
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be
A million and six times better

So make every minute count
This show is an asshole
And let's make sure that in every single possible way
Seriously, this is gonna be great

This could possibly be the best day ever
(Today is gonna be a great day)




This could possibly be the best day ever
(Today is gonna be a great day)
