Everything's working out fine

You've got all the things you want and I've got mine

No more struggle and strife

Kickin' back and diggin'...it's a wonderful life

And then you awoke

To start the day out laughing

It's some kind of a joke

Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun

Everybody's working hard to have some fun

First you want a million then a million and one

Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun

City girls and small town boys

Big time spenders with expensive toys

Pretty people who don't look so good

Some are mopping floors and some are chopping wood

But they try and they try

Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky

[Chorus]

Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun

Everybody's working hard to have some fun

First you want a million then a million and one

Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun

Everybody's doing everything they can

Some will count on luck and some will make a plan

If you want to get it, got to get it done

Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun

Mama said 'listen to me,

I can't tell you what your life's gonna be

Every day there's something new, it's true

A light could shine on you'

But they try and they try

Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky

[Repeat chorus]
