[Intro]
Ah..
Man, why did it have to happen to me?
Man, what did I do to get this?
What'd I do to deserve this?
Check it out, uh

[Verse 1]
I woke up in the morning with my hand on my head
Not knowin' this would be one day that I'd dread
I prayed the night before, for a let-me-live
The way this day turned out wasn't my prerogative
I went to the kitchen to get some cereal smooth as silk
But when I looked in the ice box, there wasn't no milk
Well I don't need no breakfast, I'm too fat anyway
I just grab a cup of juice and be on my way
So I got my car keys, on route to my job
I walked out, my windows broken and my car got robbed
They took my radio and my favorite cassette
What a way to start the day, aww - what's next?
I get to the office, my boss starts to scream
It was really unbelievable, like a bad dream
He kept talkin' all this blahse blahse
And looked at me and said, "What you have to say?"

[Chorus]
I'm havin' a bad day
Things ain't goin' my way
I'm havin' a bad day
Today, today
I'm havin' a bad day
Things ain't goin' my way
I'm havin' a bad day
Today, today

[Verse 2]
Here's somethin' else that happened to me
In the middle of this day that's B-A-D
To begin this era of grief and aggravation
I was parked by a meter and still got a citation
Took the ticket off my window, got in my car alright
A cop pulled behind me at a red light
"Your liscence, registration and insurance card"
I was buggin' out 'cause it was really hard
I didn't do nothin', asked, "Why'd you pull me over?
You never saw a young man drive a Range Rover?"
He let me go and said, "Don't do it again" - "Why,"
I said, "Thank you officer, you been a nice guy"
So I stopped at the store to get somethin to drink
Guess what happened to me before I could blink
They had my truck in the air just about to be towed
For \$700 in tickets I owed

[Chorus]
I'm havin' a bad day
Things ain't goin' my way
I'm havin' a bad day
Today, today
I'm havin' a bad day
Things ain't goin' my way
I'm havin' a bad day
Today, today

[Verse 3]
After all that I could finally go home
And rest my feet and get on the telephone
I had a unbelievable time in the city
I shoulda be down with the [?] committee
I tried to cook some dinner but it came out burnt
The fire was too hot, I just had learned
So freak it, I'll go to a restaurant
I brought a girl with me, asked, "What do you want?"
"Shrimp and lobster, two bottles of Alizé"
I looked at her and said, "Hey, hey, hey!"
She ate all the food and drank all of the liquor
I better bring her home so I can stick her
So I got her to my house as fast as I can
This is like takin' candy out of a baby's hand
But when I got her to my room, without no doubt
She was so intoxicated that she passed out

[Chorus]
I'm havin' a bad day
Things ain't goin' my way
I'm havin' a bad day
Today, today
I'm havin' a bad day
Things ain't goin' my way
I'm havin' a bad day
Today, today

[Outro]
This is one day
That ain't my day
I don't know what happened to me
But my name is the B
Say your peace
Say your [?]
[?]
I'm gonna [?]
I'm gonna [?]
I'm gonna- I'm gonna- I'm-I'm gonna...

Biz Markie

Marcel Theo Hall (born April 8, 1964), better known by his stage name Biz Markie, is an American rapper, beatboxer, DJ, comedian, singer, reality television personality, and commercial spokesperson. He is best known for his hit single “Just a Friend” and has been called “the Clown Prince of Hip Hop.”

Markie found a love of music through his father, a multi-instrumentalist who played in local Long Island clubs when Markie was a child. Later, Markie performed at house parties on Long Island until he felt confident enough to go to Manhattan and pursue a career in music. He began waiting outside on the stoop of producer Marley Marl’s house daily until Marley took notice of him. Marley assembled a group of rappers including Markie with Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Masta Ace, Roxanne Shante, and others and called them The Juice Crew. Markie was especially known for his beatboxing, something he’d been doing since he was seven years old.

Markie’s first release, a 1986 EP titled “Make The Music With Your Mouth, Biz”, was put out under the name Biz Markie “The Inhuman Orchestra”. Its title track became a minor R&B Chart hit. Two years later, “Vapors”, a single from his debut album Goin' Off, gave him his second appearance on the R&B Chart. Years later, Snoop Dogg’s 1997 cover of the song would take “Vapors” into the top 40 on the UK, Scotland and New Zealand pop charts.
