Lyrics

What a day for a daydream

What a day for a daydreamin' boy

And I'm lost in a daydream

Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy


And even if time ain't really on my side

It's one of those days for taking a walk outside

I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun

And fall on my face on somebody's new-mown lawn


I've been having a sweet dream

I been dreaming since I woke up today

It's starring me and my sweet thing

'Cause she's the one makes me feel this way


And even if time is passing me by a lot

I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got

Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load

A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull dog


And you can be sure that if you're feeling right

A daydream will last long into the night

Tomorrow at breakfast you may pick up your ears

Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years


What a day for a daydream

Custom-made for a daydreaming boy

And I'm lost in a daydream

Dreaming 'bout my bundle of joy
