Lyrics
GOOD DAY (NOT)
MY PIANO?S GROWIN? FINGERS, AND THEY DON?T BELONG TO ME.
EVERYTIME I PLAY IN A-FLAT, IT KEEPS COMIN? BACK IN C.
IN MY POCKET THERE?S A WEREWOLF,
NIPPIN? CHUNKS FROM MY LEFT CHEEK.
WELL, I GUESS YOU MIGHT SAY I DON?T SEEM TO BE HAVIN? A GOOD DAY.
YES, I GUESS YOU MIGHT SAY I DON?T SEEM TO BE HAVIN? A GOOD DAY.
MY APPENDAGES ARE CHANGIN?, A DISTURBING TENDENCY.
I CAN?T PUT MY SHOES OR SOCKS ON, THEY REFUSE TO TALK TO ME.
I GOT NINETEEN TOES AND COUNTIN?, JUST ERUPTIN? FROM MY FEET.
I THINK YOU CAN SEE I DON?T SEEM TO BE HAVIN? A GOOD DAY.
EVEN A BLIND MAN CAN SEE I DON?T SEEM TO BE HAVIN? A GOOD DAY.
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
WELL, NOW DON?T YOU AGREE I DON?T SEEM TO BE HAVIN? A GOOD DAY.
IF YOU LISTEN TO ME, THEN I KNOW YOU?LL AGREE, NOT A GOOD DAY.
SO I WALK DOWN TO THE CORNER, CALL UPON MY FAVORITE BUM.
AND I ASK HIM THIRTEEN QUESTIONS,
ONE FOR ALL MY THIRTEEN THUMBS.
HE JUST SMILES AND WHISPERS,
?ROSEBUD?
AS HE HANDS THE BAG TO ME,
THIS MIGHT BE WHAT I NEED TO HELP ME TO PROCEED TO A GOOD DAY.
WHAT THE HELL, RING THE BELL,
I CAN TELL IT?S THE SMELL OF A GOOD DAY.
