Lyrics
- Are you lookin’ for a sunny day?
Are you lookin’ for a sky of blue?
You can find ’em, so the poets say
If you change your point of view
Try this simple little exercise
When you open up your eyes
Chorus
Roll out of bed in the mornin’
With a great big smile and a good good mornin’
Get up with a grin
There’s a new day that’s tumblein’ in
Wake with the sun and the rooster
Cock-a-doo-dle-do, like the rooster uster
How can you go wrong
If you roll out of bed with a song?
Do your singin’ in the shower
Vocalize a glad refrain
While you’re singin’ in the shower
All your troubles go bubblein’ down the drain
Coffee and rolls with your honey
Turns a gloomy day to a day that’s sunny
You’ll find it worth while
If you roll out of bed with a smile
- Happiness is just a state of mind
In a little golden book I read
“Be contented and you’re sure to find
Little bluebirds overhead”
If you want to make a perfect day
You must start it off this way
