don white (lynn, ma) - great day lyrics

great day lyrics
[verse 1]
i was on the highway cruising along
decided to put my seatbelt on
it was a minute later, would you believe
a big mack truck crashed into me?
i told the policeman that i was okay
he said “your seatbelt saved your life today”
and the ambulance driver and the emts
they started singing this song to me

[chorus]
said it’s a great day to not be dead
(shoo+be+doo+wa, shoo+wa, doo+wa)
to not cave in your windshield with your head
(cave in your windshield with your head)
you are a ugly man but if that occurred
believe me, you would be even uglier
and it’s a great day to not be dead
(shoo+be+doo+wa, shoo+wa, doo+wa)

[verse 2]
later that evening with my family
sitting on the couch and we were watching tv
there was a drive+by shooting on the six o’clock news
they fired fifteen bullets at one poor dude
he took one on the finger, one on the shin
the other thirteen bullets all missed him
so we called him up at the hospital
and we sang to him over the telephone
[chorus]
we said it’s a great day to not be dead
(shoo+be+doo+wa, shoo+wa, doo+wa)
to not have fifteen bullets in your head
(fifteen bullets in your head)
oh what wonderful luck you’ve got
the guy that tried to k!ll you was a terrible shot
and it’s a great day to not be dead
(shoo+be+doo+wa, shoo+wa, doo+wa)

[verse 3]
the next news story on my tv set
was that guy whose wife brought a knife to bed
one hour later as the story goes
a part of his anatomy was laying by the road
well my wife looked over and she smiled at me
she started singing this song to me

[chorus]
she said, hey, it’s a great day to not be dead
(shoo+be+doo+wa, shoo+wa, doo+wa)
not have your wife bring a knife with her to bed
(shoo+be+doo+wa, cha, cha)
she said, i yell and i scream, i complain a lot
but at least i haven’t cut no body parts off
and it’s a great day to not be dead
(shoo+be+doo+wa, shoo+wa, doo+wa)
[bridge, spoken]
now at this point in the program, ladies and gentlemen, persons who are in a relationship where the problems in that relationship are not resolved by lopping off each other’s appendages and hurling them out the car window, will get up and do a celebration, no, dance of joy! ah ha ha! you’re looking good. you can say “i love you baby, because you left me the way god made be, and that is a beautiful thing.”

[verse 4]
i thought about my car crash and my close call
i started getting sentimental
i said, i love this house, i love you guys
i even love my rusty old car outside
and i’m so happy to be alive with you
let’s do all the things we always said that we would do

[outro]
’cause it’s a great day
it’s a great day
it’s a great day
it’s a great day
and it’s a great day to not be dead
