I wanna write a happy song So I can sing along and not worry about it I wanna win a great big prize So I can live my life the way I’ve always wanted And it might be so cynical And such a waste a time to think that way But mama don’t you know I'm having a real bad day Yeah, mama don’t you know I'm having a real bad day I wanna break out all the moves In front of you and not worry about it I wanna throw out all the stuff That’s been clogging me up ‘Cause I can live without it And it might be so cynical And such a waste a time to think that way But mama don’t you know I'm having a real bad day Yeah, mama don’t you know I'm having a real bad day I wanna throw out all the crap Because it’s just a trap and I can live without it And then I’ll get in a pick-up truck And then I’ll pick you up We’ll make a run for it And it might be so cynical And such a waste a time to think that way But mama don’t you know I'm having a real bad day Yeah, mama don’t you know I'm having a real bad day
