Everything's working out fine You've got all the things you want and I've got mine No more struggle and strife Kickin' back and diggin'...it's a wonderful life
And then you awoke To start the day out laughing It's some kind of a joke
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun Everybody's working hard to have some fun First you want a million then a million and one Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
City girls and small town boys Big time spenders with expensive toys Pretty people who don't look so good Some are mopping floors and some are chopping wood
But they try and they try Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
[CHORUS] Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun Everybody's working hard to have some fun First you want a million then a million and one Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's doing everything they can Some will count on luck and some will make a plan If you want to get it, got to get it done Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Mama said 'Listen to me, I can't tell you what your life's gonna be Every day there's something new, it's true A light could shine on you'
But they try and they try Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
