Everything's working out fine
  You've got all the things you want and I've got mine
  No more struggle and strife
  Kickin' back and diggin'...it's a wonderful life
  
  And then you awoke
  To start the day out laughing
  It's some kind of a joke
  
  Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
  Everybody's working hard to have some fun
  First you want a million then a million and one
  Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
  
  City girls and small town boys
  Big time spenders with expensive toys
  Pretty people who don't look so good
  Some are mopping floors and some are chopping wood
  
  But they try and they try
  Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
  
  [CHORUS]
  Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
  Everybody's working hard to have some fun
  First you want a million then a million and one
  Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
  
  Everybody's doing everything they can
  Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
  If you want to get it, got to get it done
  Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
  
  Mama said 'Listen to me,
  I can't tell you what your life's gonna be
  Every day there's something new, it's true
  A light could shine on you'
  
  But they try and they try
  Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
  
  [REPEAT CHORUS]
