Title : Talking optimist (Good day today)

----------------- 

I got worries by the ton; gettin' cancer's only one. 

Overtaxed and alimonied, tired of eatin' fried baloney. 

I got burdens on my shoulders, dying young or growin' older. 

There's some brain cells I'm missin', 

but despite it all, I'd like to say-- 



I'm gonna have a good day today. 

Gonna have a good time anyway. 

Put it all behind me, lay it all away. 

Gonna be a good day today. 



Bills and pills and former wives, 

past mistakes and former lives. 

Bank account is overdrawn, 

out of Prozac, hairline's gone. 

Hearing voices in my head; 

say I should've stayed in bed. 

Dog just died, but what the heck; 

nothing worse can happen anyway. 



So, I'm gonna have a good day today. 

Me, I'm gonna have a good time anyway. 

Put it all behind me, lay it all away. 

Gonna be a good day today. 



Pulled my back and wrecked my car. 

Girl-friend stole my V.C.R. 

Letter came from Sixty Minutes; 

say they wanna put me in it. 

Tell me my career just died. 

Years ago I might've cried. 

Now I'm just too old to do it. 

May be true, but screw it anyway. 



Me, I'm gonna have a good day today. 

And I'm gonna have a good time anyway. 

Put it all behind me, lay it all away. 

Gonna be a good day today. 



Hey, I'm gonna have a good day today. 

Me, I'm gonna have a good time anyway. 

Put it all behind me, lay it all away. 

Gonna be a good day today.]
