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]
