Every day's a big heartache
Every day's a big hurt
Well, I get up every morning
Cause I got to get to work

Well, the birds are all singing
And the freeway traffic's steaming
Well, I wanna keep from screaming
But I don't know what to do

Like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice day (ooh, la la)
Like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice day (ooh, la la)

Oh, like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice day (ooh, la la)
Oh, like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice day

You know life is just a bowl of cherries
If you just pick out all the seeds
To make it a whole lot better
Try to practice what you preach

We gotta learn to be happy
And not just make believe
When we get down and troubled
Sing a happy melody

Like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice day (ooh, la la)
Like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice day (ooh, la la)

Oh, like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice day (ooh, la la)
Oh, like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice, a real nice
A real nice

Like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice day (ooh, la la)
Oh, like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice, a real nice
A real nice

Like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice day (ooh, la la)
Oh, like they say in L.A.
(Like they say in L.A.)
Have a real nice day
