Was a Sunny Day

ŠPaul Simon, released on There Goes Rhymin' Simon, 1973

.

Was a sunny day

Not a cloud was in the sky

Not a negative word was heard

From the people passing by

'Twas a sunny day

All the birdies in the trees

And the radio's singing song

All the favorite melodies

.

He was a navy man

stationed in Newport News

She was a highschool queen

with nothing really left to lose

She was a highschool queen

with nothing really left to lose

.

Was a sunny day

Not a cloud was in the sky

Not a negative word was heard

From the people passing by

'Twas a sunny day

All the birdies in the trees

And the radio's singing song

All the favorite melodies

.

Her name was Lorelei

She was his only girl

She called him "Speedoo"

But his Christian name was Mister Earl

She called him "Speedoo"

But his Christian name was Mister Earl

.

Was a sunny day

Not a cloud was in the sky

Not a negative word was heard

From the people passing by

'Twas a sunny day

All the birdies in the trees

And the radio's singing song

All the favorite melodies

.
