No. 8 - Song - Gerard - "It's a beautiful day to-day."
Gerald: | It's a funny thought, how often in my life I've had breakfast all alone. In an hour or so I have to take a wife; What is more, the wife's my own. Marriages, you know, were never in my line-- I shall have to go to mine. Well, thank Heav'n the weather's fine! Take life as you find it; I have lost and I must pay; But I don't mind it, It's a beautiful day today, It's a wonderful day today! |
It's the guv'nor's fault — I couldn't stick his jaw, Lost my temper more or less, I said I'd propose to any girl I saw. Well, I did-- the girl said, Yes! Pretty rough on her and twice as bad for me, I suppose it's got to be, Is this coffee now, or tea? Take life as you find it; That tea tastes more like hay, But I don't mind it, It's a beautiful day today, It's a marvellous day today! |

Friends are sure to say that I have been a fool, That is what I'm always told, They may save their breath to keep their bacon cool; I've been letting some get cold. Well, that breakfast is the worst I ever ate, I will have a cigarette, All the exercise I'll get. Take life as you find it; That's all there is to say, But I don't mind it, It's a beautiful day today, Yes, I don't think it's rained once today! |
