Just One Day (From “Freaky Friday” the Disney Channel Original Movie)

Lyrics

[ELLIE] Just one day That's all I need Just a day without her nagging Just one day I beg, I plead But the drag just keeps on dragging While I wish for just one Monday Or a Friday to be free Free to slouch and sulk and mumble And be messy and be me All I ask is for twelve hours To live my life my way Just one simple, awesome, crazy, epic, day [KATHERINE] Just one day Is all I want With my family united Fears at bay No fights, no taunts Just the four of us delighted I mean look I love my kids I love my work I love my life And I love my fiancé And in a day I'll be his wife And I'll throw the perfect wedding And I'll throw the bride's bouquet And we'll have one happy, loving family day Tomorrow is the wedding And tonight is the rehearsal And there is no room for error I mean not one flaw We've got guests in just ten hours Dress the tables Trim the flowers I want beauty and perfection I want total awe [TORREY] And remember that reporter 'Cause it's crucial that we court her The business is depending on this one success [KATHERINE] Now breathe, but thank you Torrey And in fact that is the story So get moving, move this produce And remove this mess (spoken) Ellie Blake! Breakfast! Now! [ELLIE] One more day She's on my back She's been riding me forever With all my faults And all I lack And all I- oh whatever! 'Cause I'm lazy and I'm average And I'm sloppy for a start And I know she'd like a daughter Who was pretty, neat, and smart And I know the woman's perfect But I'll never be that way Not for a single solitary day (DIALOGUE) FLETCHER: Hi Mike! Little dude! MIKE: Big man! ELLIE: Fletcher? That's mine! Dad gave it to me! You give that back right now! KATHERINE: Alright, hold on! Stop- FLETCHER: No, no, no! KATHERINE: Hey, stop yelling! ELLIE: This is not a toy. Does this look like a toy? FLETCHER: I'm not acting like this is a toy! ELLIE: You're playing with it [KATHERINE] One more day She'll fight and fuss When her joy is all I'm after It's been a long tough Time for us And now it's time to hear some laughter 'Cause I only want her happy And well punctual and clean But she mumbles and she crumbles And at times she's outright mean She's bright and so insightful But those traits aren't on display Well Not lately, often, ever, not today (DIALOGUE) TORREY: They brought hot house tomatoes- KATHERINE: Oh! You scared me. You scare me -all- the time (indistinct speaking at once) ELLIE: MOOOM! [KATHERINE] Ellie dear, it's not the time No, that apron is a crime And that sea bass isn't fresh It's three days dead [ELLIE] Mom, I really need to know if I can- Wait, now where'd she go Ugh, I'll never draw her focus From the bread (LAYERED VOCALS) [KATHERINE:] It's a million little things, from the riesling to the rings, and I have to count out every single plate! [ELLIE:] Mom it's just a little game, just a silly little game, and I wouldn't even play! [MIKE:] Katherine, oh one other thing, see the jeweler sized the ring, it's a little large [KATHERINE & TORREY:] What a day! What a day! What a day! Yay! [FLETCHER:] Hey! Mom, hey! Hey! (6x) Mom! [ELLIE:] Mom, not okay... safe to say... Okay! Okay? Okay?! Okay! [MIKE:] But really who can tell? It's okay! (2x) It's okay. It's okay! [FLETCHER, MIKE & ELLIE] Just one day, that's all we get [KATHERINE] Just one day to show my skills! Till the vows, the hunt, the story! Just one day, sunrise, sunset To get cashed out, get drunk, paid my dues! And then night in all it's glory! [ENSEMBLE & ELLIE] Just say the word and we'll be on our way, on our way [KATHERINE] To show what I can do. And see what I can take in just one day [MIKE] We're on our way [KATHERINE & EVERYONE ELSE] For one [KATHERINE] Stressful [EVERYONE ELSE] Perfect [KATHERINE] Busy [EVERYONE ELSE] Winning [KATHERINE] Anxious [EVERYONE ELSE] Stellar [KATHERINE] High stakes [EVERYONE ELSE] Epic [KATHERINE, ELLIE, & WOMEN] Do or die [EVERYONE] Crazy day!
