[Verse 1]
Everything's working out fine
You got all the things you want and I got mine
No more struggle and strife
Kicking back, and digging, it's a wonderful life
And then you awoke to start the day out laughin'
It's some kind of a joke

[Chorus 1]
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Everybody's workin' hard to have some fun
First you want a million, then a million and one
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun

[Verse 2]
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 1]
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Everybody's workin' hard to have some fun
First you want a million, then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun

[Chorus 2]
Everybody's doin' everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you wanna get it, gotta get it done
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun

[Bridge]
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"

[Breakdown]
But they try and they try
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky

[Chorus 1]
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun
Everybody's workin' hard to have some fun
First you want a million, then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun

[Chorus 2]
Everybody's doin' everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you wanna get it, gotta get it done
Everybody's waitin' for a day in the sun

[Outro]
A day in the sun
A day in the sun
A day in the sun
A day in the sun
