   Just a  perfect day,
 G             C
  Drink Sangria  in the park,
 F                    Dm
  And then later, when  it gets dark,
      E
We go  home.
 Am      D
   Just a  perfect day,
 G            C
  Feed animals  in the zoo
 F             Dm
  Then later, a  movie, too,
        E
And then  home.

You just  keep me  hanging  on,
 Am      D
   Just a  perfect day,
 G                    C
  Problems all left a-  lone,

  Weekenders on our  own.

It's such  fun.
 Am      D
   Just a  perfect day,
