[Intro] [steady acoustic guitar strumming with percussive backbeat] [Verse 1] Well, I woke up this morning half an hour late No coffee for the coffee pot and the milk was out of date I looked out through the back window, and I saw the skies were gray I thought I could use some warm sunshine, but it sure does look like rain [Chorus] And today would be a great day to have a great day I've been working hard all year, and I sure could use a break Now I'm not saying I deserve it, but I think it's safe to say Today would be a great day to have a great day [Verse 2] By the time I made work the rain began to pour And just my luck the lights went out as I walked right through the door The 'lectric company said they'd be out all the livelong day So, the bossman sent us all home and I lost a whole day's pay [Chorus] But today would be a great day to have a great day I've been working hard all month, and I sure could use a break Now I'm not saying I deserve it, but I think it's safe to say Today would be a great day to have a great day [Verse 3] When I got home my wife was there, they'd sent her home, too About that time, the clouds they parted, and the sun came shining through So, I grabbed a beer and the radio, and we put on our swimsuits And we spent the rest of the day floating in the blow-up pool [Chorus] And today was a great day to have a great day We've been working hard all week, and we sure could use the break Now I'm not saying that we deserved it, but I think it's safe to say Today was a great day to have a great day [Outro] And tomorrow will be a great day to have a great, great day [guitar final strum]
