Pretty Good Day by Loudon Wainwright

I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn
I flipped a switch and the light
I got out of bed and I put some
It’s a pretty good day so far

I turned the tap, there was there was
I put on my coat to go to the shop
I stepped outside, and I didn’t
It’s a pretty good day so far

I didn’t hear any sirens or
No murders coming in from those heavy guns
No UN tanks, I didn’t
It’s a pretty good day so far

No snipers in windows, taking a peak
No people panic, running scared
I didn’t see any without arms, legs, or feet
It’s a pretty good day

There was plasma bandages and
Food, wood, and water; and the air was smoke free
No camera crews from my TV

It was all such a strange sight to
Nobody was frightened, wounded, hungry, or cold
And the children seemed normal, they didn’t
It’s a pretty good day so far

I walked through a park, you would not
There in the park, there were a few
And on some branches, there were a few leaves

I slept through the night, got through to the dawn
I flipped the switch and the light
I wrote down , I wrote this song
It’s a pretty good day so far
