What a day for a day-dream
What a day for a day dreamin` 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 takin` a walk outside
I`m blowin` the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody`s new mowed lawn

I`ve been havin` a sweet dream 
I`ve been dreamin` since I woke up to-day 
It`s starin` me and my sweet dream 
`cause she`s the one that makes me feel this way 
And even if time is passin` me by a lot 
I could`nt care less about the dues you say I got 
Tomorrow I`ll pay the dues for droppin` my load 
A pie in the face for bein`a sleepy bull toad

(whistle)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
And you can be sure that if you`re feelin` right 
A day-dream can last into the night 
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears 
Or you may be daydreamin` for a thousand years

What a day for a day-dream 
Custom made for a day-dreamin` boy 
I`m lost in a day-dream 
Dreamin` `bout my bundle of joy (Whistle to end)
