[Verse 1]
The smokestack spitting
Black soot into the sooty sky
The load on the road
Brings a tear to the Indian's eye
The elephant won't forget
What it's like inside his cage
The ringmaster's Telecaster
Sings on an empty stage
[Chorus]
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh
[Verse 2]
The girl with the curls
And the sweet pink ribbon in her hair
She's crawlin' out her window
'Cause her daddy, he just don't care
Come on
[Chorus]
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh
[Verse 3]
The clown with the frown
Driving down to the sidewalk fair
Finger on the trigger
Let me tell you, it is quite a scare
[Chorus]
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh
[Verse 4]
The kids flip their lids
When their heads hear that crazy sound
My neighbor digs the flavor
Still he's moving to another town
And I don't believe he'll come back
[Chorus]
Goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh
[Verse 5]
Well, I don't know
How you're taking all the shit you see
You don't believe anyone
But most of all, you don't believe me
Only you
[Chorus]
Goddamn right, it's a beautiful day (Only you)
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh
