BAD DAY, BAD LUCK, BAD ATTITUDE

V6

### \[Verse 1\] Woke up this morning, the alarm went mad, Spilled my coffee, now I'm feeling bad, Stubbed my toe on the bedroom door, Dropped my keys on the kitchen floor. The car wouldn't start, the rain came down, Got stuck in traffic on the edge of town, My boss said, “Son, you're late again!” I said, “You're lucky I'm still your friend!” ### \[Pre-Chorus\] Well, I've had enough, and I've had my fill, The world's got me climbing up a hill, I'm hanging on by a single thread, With a hundred angry thoughts in my head! ### \[Chorus\] It's a bad day, bad luck, bad attitude, Nothing's going right, and I'm not in the mood! Bad breaks, bad news, and a hole in my shoe, If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all, it's true! Oh, the sky's gone grey, and the bills won't pay, Every little thing's gonna go my way— Tomorrow, maybe, I'll see the sun, But today, my friend, I'm a walking disaster, everyone! ### \[Verse 2\] Went to the shop for a loaf of bread, Forgot my wallet, nearly lost my head, The queue was long, and the till broke down, Somebody's screaming at the bloke in the brown. Got back home, and the phone rang twice, First was trouble, then more bad advice, The dog ate dinner, the cat broke a vase, And I've got a headache the size of Wales! ### \[Pre-Chorus\] Well, I've had enough, I'm ready to scream, This ain't the day I had in my dreams, I'll count to ten, then I'll count to more, Then kick my shoes and curse the floor! ### \[Chorus\] It's a bad day, bad luck, bad attitude, Nothing's going right, and I'm not in the mood! Bad breaks, bad news, and a hole in my shoe, If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all, it's true! Oh, the sky's gone grey, and the bills won't pay, Every little thing's gonna go my way— Tomorrow, maybe, I'll see the sun, But today, my friend, I'm a walking disaster, everyone! ### \[Bridge – Half-Time, Bluesy Guitar\] Well, sometimes life will kick you when you're down, Turn your smile upside down and spin you round, But you can't let the world steal your soul, Sometimes you've just got to lose control! So pour me a drink, let the jukebox play, I've earned the right to complain today, If life wants a fight, well, let it begin— I've got nothing to lose but the state I'm in! ### \[Guitar Solo – 12-Bar Blues Rock\] Electric guitar wails over pounding drums. Honky-tonk piano answers each guitar lick. The band builds back into the final chorus. ### \[Verse 3 – More Upbeat\] Well, I laughed so hard that I nearly cried, Threw my hands up and swallowed my pride, The world's still broken, my luck's still gone, But I'll be damned if it keeps me down! I've got two good legs and a song to sing, A battered old heart and a stubborn streak, The day can throw whatever it may— I'll be standing when it gets out of my way! ### \[Final Chorus – Full Band, Big Finish\] It's a bad day, bad luck, bad attitude, Nothing's going right, but I've still got the groove! Bad breaks, bad news, let the whole world shout, You can knock me down, but you can't keep me out! Oh, the sky's gone grey, but I don't care, I'll sing my troubles into the air! Tomorrow, baby, I'll have my fun, But tonight I'm laughing at the things I've done! Bad day! (HEY!) Bad luck! (HEY!) Somebody get me another cup! Bad day! (HEY!) Bring it on! I'll be laughing when the bad luck's gone! ### \[Outro – Spoken Over a Final Guitar Riff\] “Right! That's it! I'm going to bed!” Pause. “Anybody seen my house keys?” (The band hits one final crashing chord.)
