What a Day That Was (Live) [2023 Remaster]

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I'm dressed up so nice And I'm doin' my best And I'm startin' over I'm startin' over in another place Lemme tell you a story A big chief with a golden crown He's got rings on his fingers And he walks up, up to the throne He's makin' shapes with his hands And don't you dare sit back Now don't you dare sit down And don't you dare speak up, oh-oh [Chorus] And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Oh-oh-oh, who could have asked for more? And on the second day, there was nothing else left to do Oh-oh-oh, what a day that was, oh [Verse 2] Well, there are fifty thousand beggars Roaming in the streets And they have lost all their possessions And they have nothing left to eat Down come a bolt of lightning Start an electrical storm And starts a chain reaction Go pull a fire alarm I said I, I'm dreaming of a city It was my own invention I put the wheels in motion A time for big decisions, oh-oh [Chorus] And on the first day, we had everything we could stand Oh-oh-oh, and then we let it fall And on the second day, there was nothing else left at all Oh-oh-oh, what a day that was, oh [Bridge] Oh, a day that was Oh-oh-oh, and that's the way it goes There's a million ways to get things done There's a million ways to make things work out [Verse 3] Well, I'm going right through And the light came down And they're roundin' 'em up From all over town (ha ha) They're movin' forward and backwards Movin' backwards and front And they're enjoying themselves Movin' in every direction And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool You feel like going home You feel like talking to someone Who knows the difference between right and wrong [Chorus] Oh, and on the first day, we had everything we could stand Oh-oh-oh, and then we let it fall And on the second day, there was nothing else left at all Oh-oh-oh, what a day that was, oh Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha [Outro] We're goin' boom, boom, boom And that's the way we live And in a great big room And that's the way we live We're goin' boom, boom, boom And that's the way we live And in a great big room And that's the way we live We're goin' boom, boom, boom And that's the way we live And in a great big room And that's the way we live Ha, ha
