A LOVELY DAY

It was Sunday morning and I was stony broke.
I had a gig for quite a sum down on the Sussex coast.
I didn't have the train-fare, I couldn't get to work.
Sometimes this job can get you down you feel like such a jerk.

I got onto this website, got chatting to this bloke.
He offered me some ready cash to sit and watch me stroke.
Well desperate times were calling, and I was still quite pissed,
Thought: 'Sod it, I'll take fifty quid for a quick one off the wrist!'

Oh what a lovely day I had!
I got to work on time, the weather was sublime.
What a lovely day I had!
And all the Kemp Town ladies were looking in their prime.

A cove in Hove showed me his love tattoo.
I even got the last train back to Waterloo.
Things panned out just perfect, though I've a sense of shame,
Not to do with being poor or going on the game.
But let's just say my acting skills could earn me global fame,
'Cos I wanked my way to Brighton but I faked it when I came!

Didn't see that coming, did ya?

I'm a chap who doesn't shrink or shirk,
'Cos I think idle hands invite the Devil's work.

Life is made for living, and life is made for fun.
That's what I thought while strolling down in Brighton in the sun.
The moral of this story: when things don't go as planned,
Keep your chin up, don't despair, there's always cash in hand.

Oh, what a lovely day I had!
I strolled along the plage, I had a neck massage.
What a lovely day I had!
With the added satisfaction that I'd earned an honest wage.

Altogether now!

What a lovely day I had!
I napped there in the shade, and I was fairly paid.
What a lovely day I had!
'Cos when Life gave me lemons, I made lemonade.
Yes I made lemonade!
