Pretty Good Day (Album Version)

Pretty Good Day (Album Version) - Loudon Wainwright III

I slept through the night I got through to the dawn

I flipped a switch and the light went on

I got out of bed and I put some clothes on

It's a pretty good day so far

I turned the tap there was cold there was hot

I put on my coat to go to the shop

I stepped outside and I didn't get shot

It's a pretty good day so far

I didn't hear any sirens or explosions

No murders coming in form those heavy guns

No UN tanks I didn't see one

It's a pretty good day so far

No snipers in windows taking a peak

No people panic running scared through the streets

I didn't see any bodies without arms legs or feet

It's a pretty good day

There was plasma bandages and electricity

Food wood and water; and the air was smoke free

No camera crews from my TV

It was all such a strange sight to be home

Nobody was frightened wounded hungry or cold

And the children seemed normal they didn't look old

It's a pretty good day so far

I walked through a park you would not believe it

There in the park there were a few trees left

And on some branches there were a few leaves

I slept through the night got through to the dawn

I flipped the switch and the light went on

I wrote down my dream I wrote this song

It's a pretty good day so far
