From the recording Take Two
Lyrics
Today with bright promise
And white-curtain smiles
The girl that’s inside ‘em
Thinks it could be brighter
What a day it’s been
Following day brings the roses
Black hose and a note
To her, from him, and like that
With directions enclosed
What a way to start the day
What a way to begin the day
Wants to walk but she settles for a ride
Raggedy man pulls up in a white van
How do you do?
There’s nothing to do. It’s all crazy
Just saddle me up and settle me downtown
It’s a great day to be crazy and dazed
It’s a great day to be dazed and amazed
