a beautiful day
The Far East Movement Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

HA! That one was kind of hot

Maai, what a day and I got what it takes
I got that keep on, keep on, keep on
Got that keep on, keep on, keep on X2

It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day
So won't chu, won't chu be my neighbor?

Sunblock, flip flops, pack of smokes
Two turn tables and my box of shorts
I'm ready for the beach, so I hope in the ride
But then I run back in my house to kiss my mama good bye
It's California and I ain't got no complaints
'cause I skip my jay-o, hey o, so come out and play
Hit the PCH and meet me down by the peer
Inbetween two ladies on top of the ferris wheel
Warm weather and blue skies
This the type of day where I'm happy to be alive
Feels like father and mother nature were makin' love
Nine months ago and today they have a son

Maai, what a day and I got what it takes
I got that keep on, keep on, keep on
Got that keep on, keep on, keep on X2

Yo, hopscotch, ice cream, hoop dreams at the park
Palm trees, light green, oh E after dark
Just a typical day, such a beautiful day
And I'm tryna make due with my minimal pay
Two tacos, one buck, late night at the trucks
64s, dip low, everybody liquored up
Ain't no reason to drip, so let the good times roll
Please do yourself a favor and let the good vibes flow
'cause we gettin' too old to be fightin' like children
Lemme see you smile and enjoy that feelin'
Got nothin' but love, it's all hugs and dabs

Get yo three fingers up, we all folks and fam

Come to a place where you can get away
Won't you come and be with me in the neighborhood
It's a beautiful day X2

It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day
So won't chu, won't chu be my neighbor?

Headphones, iPod, pat my back
Wallet, skateboard, breakfast jack
Jammin' through downtown, wheels go round round
I'm 'bout to pass out, piss on my past now
Bus on the one way, no goin' back now
Beautiful fun day, showin' the Monday
Lunch time: tuna sandwich and a coke
Pen, no book and a pack of Newports
City of Angels, city don't slow down
Gotta keep movin' because my mama don't know how
You loosin' what I found, right under yo' nose
Everydays beautiful as long as you grow it

Maai, what a day and I got what it takes
I got that keep on, keep on, keep on
Got that keep on, keep on, keep on X2

It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day
So won't chu, won't chu be my neighbor? X2

Come to a place where you can get away




Won't you come and be with me in the neighborhood
It's a beautiful day X3

Overall Meaning

The Far East Movement's song A Beautiful Day is a celebration of a typical day in California, with the good weather and blue skies making the singer happy to be alive. The catchy chorus invites the listener to be a part of this beautiful day in the neighborhood. The song talks about the little things that make the day special, such as heading to the beach, meeting friends, buying cheap tacos at a food truck, and listening to music on the go.


The song's first verse talks about packing for a day on the beach and bidding goodbye to the singer's mother. Then, he heads out to spend time with friends, going to the pier and riding the ferris wheel. The second verse is about spending time at a park, skating around town, and grabbing a bite for lunch, which leads to a reflection on how every day is beautiful, and we need to appreciate it.


One interesting fact about the song is that it was released in 2010 as part of the band's album 'Free Wired.' It achieved commercial success in the US and UK and was included in the soundtrack of the movie 'The Other Guys.' Another interesting fact is that the song features an uncredited chorus by Bruno Mars, who was not yet famous at the time of its release. The song's background vocals were performed by the group's touring DJ, Virman Coquia.


The chords to the song are not available.
