La Dee Dah Dah Day
The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That′s got me feeling in a beautiful way
No rhyme or reason
We could sing a duet
Dance a style or two
Or I'll make you a bet
Just a smile will do
Atop of roofs and mountain tops
That all the world is paved in gold
Yesterday is retroactive
Got myself a new perspective
I strut it up and down the road
So I threw all my worries
And my old skin away
Doing what I want to
On this la dee dah dah day!
La dee dah dah day
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah day
La dee dah dah day
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah day
La dee dah dah day
What the fuck was that?
Spare change for the homeless?
Sorry man, I don′t have anything.
Hey man, that's cool.
'Cause I may not have a home
But that′s way okay
′Cause I prefer to roam
The streets all day
The world is my house
The dogs are my food
Oh, look, a new blouse
And a new trash-tattoo
I used to want to kill them all
While high on bathsalt-zombie drugs
While snacking on a dead man's face
But that just feels like yesterday
A song takes all the pain away
My politics and house-views changed
Dancing on the concrete
Used to hurt a lot
But now I got new feet
And this jam′s just way too hot
La dee dah dah day
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah day
La dee dah dah day
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah day
La dee dah dah day
Ok, ok, ok! Here, take it!
Uh... What's going on here?
I′m very confused and concerned by all of this.
Do you want to save the planet?
(Of course you want to save the planet)
Do you want to save the planet?
(Well there's just one way you can do it)
By singing a song
(Singing a song)
Singing along...
La dee dah dah dah dah
La dee dah dee dah dah
Dah dee dah dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah dah dah
La dee dah dah dah dah
Day...
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah day
La dee dah dah day
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah
La dee dah dah day, away
La dee dah dah...
Day!
The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals Cast's song "La Dee Dah Dah Day" is a joyful and uplifting tune that invites the listeners to forget their worries and celebrate life. The song opens with a description of a "typical day" that feels beautiful for no particular reason. It's an invitation to the listener to let go of their concerns and just enjoy the moment. The chorus repeats the nonsensical phrase "la dee dah dah day," which serves as a playful expression of happiness.
The second verse introduces a homeless man, who, despite not having a permanent home, feels content wandering the streets. The lyrics suggest that happiness doesn't depend on material possessions or societal status. The chorus repeats, and the song concludes with a call to action to save the planet by singing a song. The song's overall message is that life is full of small joys that are worth celebrating, and that music and simple things like smiling can make the world a better place.

Yeah! just a typical day
It's just an ordinary day
That′s got me feeling in a beautiful way
But it makes me feel great
No rhyme or reason
There's no particular cause or purpose
We could sing a duet
We could sing together
Dance a style or two
We could dance different styles
Or I'll make you a bet
Or do you want to bet?
Just a smile will do
We only need to smile
Sometimes I just wanna shout
Sometimes I wish to scream
Atop of roofs and mountain tops
From the top of roofs and mountains
That all the world is paved in gold
That the world is full of opportunities
Yesterday is retroactive
The past is like a dream
Got myself a new perspective
I have a new way of thinking
I strut it up and down the road
I show it off while walking down the road
So I threw all my worries
So I let go of all my worries
And my old skin away
And my old self behind
Doing what I want to
Doing what I feel like doing
On this la dee dah dah day!
On this easygoing day!
What the fuck was that?
What the hell is happening?
Spare change for the homeless?
Do you have some money for the homeless?
Sorry man, I don′t have anything.
I'm sorry, I don't have anything.
Hey man, that's cool.
That's okay.
′Cause I prefer to roam
Because I like to wander
The streets all day
All day long on the streets
The world is my house
The world is my home
The dogs are my food
I can eat street dogs
Oh, look, a new blouse
Wow, there's a nice new shirt
And a new trash-tattoo
And a trashy tattoo
I used to want to kill them all
I used to want to kill everyone
While high on bathsalt-zombie drugs
While on drugs that made me feel like a zombie
While snacking on a dead man's face
Eating a dead man's face
But that just feels like yesterday
But that seems like it happened in the past
A song takes all the pain away
A song can relieve all the pain
My politics and house-views changed
I changed my political and housing views
Dancing on the concrete
Dancing on the pavement
Used to hurt a lot
It used to be painful
But now I got new feet
But now I've got new dancing skills
And this jam′s just way too hot
This music is too good to resist
Do you want to save the planet?
Do you care about saving the planet?
(Of course you want to save the planet)
(Of course you do!)
Well there's just one way you can do it
There's only one way to save it
By singing a song
By singing this song
(Singing a song)
(Sing along)
