What A Day That Was

Well, i'm dressed up so nice

An' i'm doin' my best

Yes i'm startin' over..

Startin' over in another place



Lemme tell you a story

Big chief with a golden crown

He's got rings on his finger

And then he walks up, up to the throne



He's makin' shapes with his hands

An' don't choo dare sit down

Now don't choo dare jump back

And don't choo dare stick out!



And on the first day, we had everything we could hold

Ooh and then we let if all

And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do

Ooh what a day that was.



There are 50,000 beggars

Roaming in the streets

They have lost all their possessions

They have nothing left to eat



Down come a bolt of lightning

Now an electrical storm

Starts a chain reaction

Go pull a fire alarm



I'm dreaming of a city

It was my own invention

And i put the wheels in motion

A time for big decisions



And on the first day, we had everything we could hold

Ooh and then we let if all

And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do

Ooh what a day that was.



Oh a day that was

Ooh that's the way it goes

There's a million ways- to get things done

There's a million ways- to make things work out.



Well i'm going right trough

And the light came down

Well they're roundin' 'em up

From all over town



They're movin' forward and back

They're movin' backwards and front

And they're enjoying themselves

Moving in ev'ry direction



So if you feel like you're in a whirlpool

You feel like going home

And if you feel like talking to someone

Who know the difference between right and wrong



And on the first day, we had everything we could hold

Ooh and then we let if all

And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do

Ooh what a day that was.

We're go(in') boom boom boom	that's the way we live

And in a great big room and that's the way we live.
