Okay Day

(The Amoreys)

OK DAY

THERE’S NOTHING MAGIC ABOUT BEING POOR
EXCEPT HOW THE MONEY DISAPPEARS
AND HOW LITTLE YOU GOT TO SHOW FOR
WORKIN’ ALL THEM YEARS
AND IT TAKES A LOT JUST TO GET ALONG
SOME TAKE MORE THAN THEY GIVE
POOR BOY DON’T STAND HALF A CHANCE
TAKES TWICE WHAT HE GOT JUST TO LIVE

BUT, HEY THATS OK
THATS OK, THERE’S GONNA BE A BRAND NEW DAY
BUT, HEY THATS OK
YEAH THATS OK IT DON’T MATTER WHAT THEY SAY

THERE’S SO MUCH SEEMS THERE’D BE ENOUGH
BUT WHEN THE POOR BOY SAYS LET’S SHARE
RICH BOYS STARTS SCREAMING COMMUNISTS
START TO PULLING OUT THEIR HAIR
POOR BOY POOR GIRL SKIN AND BONES
WENT TO THE CARNIVAL
DANCE AROUN’ LIKE SKELETONS
SINGING TIME TO EAT YOU ALL

BUT, HEY THATS OK
THATS OK, THERE’S GONNA BE A BRAND NEW DAY
BUT, HEY THATS OK
YEAH THATS OK IT DON’T MATTER WHAT THEY SAY

Look deep in my eyes, baby, and tell me what you see
I bet you'll find a true love and damn little money
Way back in California when bein' poor seemed fine
We'd gaze out on the ocean and sip the cherry wine

GIVE ME ONE GIVE ME TWO
THREE FOUR GIVE ME 5
GONNA DO WHAT I GOTTA DO
KEEP MYSELF ALIVE
WHEN SANTA CLAUS COMES TO MY TOWN
WE TREAT HIM LIKE A KING
WE GET HIM DRUNK AND PASS AROUND
THE PRESENTS THAT HE BRINGS

BUT, HEY THATS OK
THATS OK, THERE’S GONNA BE A BRAND NEW DAY
BUT, HEY THATS OK
YEAH THATS OK IT DON’T MATTER WHAT THEY SAY
