Perfect Day
OPM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(jaimacian jiberish) this is a perfect day!
Woke up to the sound of the garbage truck again
Upstairs neighbors toilets leakin on my head
My cars broke down I missed the bus there runs a ten
I had a feelin this was a day to stay in bed
I finally left my pad right under jumbos cloud
A police officer pulled out ands gonna say
(freeze put your hands up)
I said sir you got the wrong guy
I guess its just a perfect day OoOoOo
I guess its just a perfect day OoOoOo
(jaimacain jiberish)
I'm sippin a fresca at the downtown county jail
My friends are all to broke to come up with my bail
I lost my day shoes to tiny playin spades
I sleep with one eye open to make sure I don't get laid
(spanish)
The deportation officers son said to me
They put us on a bus to guadalaraja
I guess its just a perfet day
Its just a perfect day
Nanananananaaw
(it was a perfect day)
Have you evereverever had one of those days never seen nothin right nothins goin your way
Its so wrong I dedicate this song to you you and you and whoever relates to what we do
But somebody tell me why why why this always happens to me me me
Just another dose of reality
Just tryin to make the best of this situation
This really isn't my idea f vacation
O my mama mama sita say
Hey baby va manocave
This chica bonita is lookin okay
Ya I think I'm goin to say
My car broke down it was a perfect day
The surf is up it was a perfect day
My dog on the street it was a perfect day
?
My wife run away it was a perfect day
My cat run away it was a perfect day
My dog on the street it was a perfect day
It was a perfect day it was a perfect day
Cops took away my stahash
The police man took away my stash
It was a perfect day




Somebody broke my bong it was a perfect day
This song was a hit it was a perfect day

Overall Meaning

The song Perfect Day by OPM is a comical take on a series of unfortunate events that happens to the singer. He wakes up to the sound of a garbage truck, followed by his upstairs neighbor's toilet leaking on his head, and his car breaking down which causes him to miss the bus. He finally leaves his house and is mistaken for a criminal by a police officer. Later in the song, the singer is arrested, his friends cannot bail him out, and he loses his shoes while playing Spades. He jokes about sleeping with one eye open to avoid unwanted advances and being deported to Guadalaraja. Despite all of these trials, the singer serenades that it's a perfect day regardless.


The song uses a combination of Jamaican jiberish, Spanish, and English to add to the humor of the situation. Although the events happening to the singer are not pleasant, he tries to make the best of a bad situation. The song speaks to anyone who has ever had an unlucky day and can relate to a series of events not going their way.

I got called into work early today. On the way there, I wrecked my car today in the pooring rain along the beach. Covered in sand, kept getting knocked down by the wind and was stranded in it for an hour til my supervisor picked me up and took me to work. It was a perfect day.
