Today will be a very fine day.
People will listen and hear what I say,
the market will rise, blood pressure fall,
I\'ll meet the new girl who lives down the hall,
the bus will run exactly on time,
I\'ll get a new flat and won\'t have to climb
three flights of stairs to this lonely old room
where I hear every night my neighbor\'s bassoon.
He\'s learning to play from a library book
and last night at ten the chandelier shook
when he hit a note that\'s never been played.
I banged on the wall but the offer I made
never stopped his practice from ten until two.
I\'d move out tomorrow if only I knew
what to do with my sister\'s white cockatoo.
Do you?
In spite of it all, here\'s what I say:
Today will be a very fine day!
