Verse 1:

I guess it all started when i woke up this morning

Everything seemed okay

'Til i let my pet snake get loose in the kitchen

Now i've been in trouble all day

Verse 2:

I got some paint on the wall,a pretty orange color

G D A

And a little on the carpet and floor

I covered it up with Mom's coat from the closet

That she says she can't wear anymore

Refrão -------------

I've had a bad,bad day

Not like i thought it would be

I've had a bad,bad day

It seems like everyone's pickin' on me

I put some sand in my Grandpa's tobacco

G D A

And he frowned at me all day

Then i hid his pipe 'cause it smells when he smokes it

So between Mom's coat and my Granpa's tobacco

G D A

Life can be rough on a kid

They've almost worn out the seat of my britches

It don't hurt much now,but it did
