C
C A7
What a day for a daydream
Dm7 G
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
C A7
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dm7 G
Dreamin' bout my bundle of joy
F D7 C A7
And even if time ain't really on my side
F D7 C A7
It's one of those days for takin' a walk outside
F D7 C A7
I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun
G G7
And fall on my face on somebody's new-mowed lawn
[Verse 2]
C A7
I been havin' a sweet dream
Dm7 G
I been dreamin' since I woke up today
C A7
It's starring me and my sweet thing
Dm7 G
'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way
F D7 C A7
And even if time is passin' me by a lot
F D7 C A7
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I've got
F D7 C A7
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load
G G7
A pie in the face for bein' a sleepy bull toad
[Instrumental - Whistling]

C A7
Dm7 G
F D7 C A7
And you can be sure that if you're feelin' right
F D7 C A7
A daydream will last 'til long into the night
F D7 C A7
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
G G7
Or you may be daydreamin' for a thousand years
C A7
What a day for a daydream
Dm7 G
Custom-made for a daydreamin' boy
C A7
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dm7 G
Dreamin' bout my bundle of joy
