Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
The smokestack is spitting black soot into the sooty sky The load on the road brings a tear to the Indian's eye The Elephant won't forget what it's like inside his cage The Ringmaster's Telecaster sings on an empty stage Uh-huh God damn right it's a beautiful day Uh-huh God damn right it's a beautiful day Uh-huh Oh The girl with the curls and the sweet pink ribbon in her hair She's crawlin' out her window 'cause her daddy just don't care (Come on!) Uh-huh God damn right it's a beautiful day Uh-huh God damn right it's a beautiful day Uh-huh The clown with the frown driving down to the sidewalk fair Finger on the trigger let me tell you it's quite a scare Uh-huh God damn right it's a beautiful day Uh-huh God damn right it's a beautiful day Uh-huh The kids flip their lids when their heads hear that crazy sound My neighbor digs the flavor still he's moving to another town (and I don't believe he'll come back) God damn right it's a beautiful day Uh-huh God damn right it's a beautiful day Uh-huh Your mind don't know how you're taking all the shit you see Don't believe anyone but most of all don't believe me God damn right it's a beautiful day Uh-huh [Repeat: x4]
