[Verse 1]
I'm just sittin' pretty watchin' the flowers grow
Beneath my window
Oh, just feelin' my oats and coastin' mostly
As they say
Can you come out and play? mm-mm

[Verse 2]
I'm just feelin' silly lovin' the feelin' so
In my big toe
Oh, just watchin' the ceilin'
Reelin', stealin' that whole show
Beginnin' to make my day, mm-mm

[Chorus]
For today is a day, quite a day, mm-mm-hmm
Full of gay daydreamin', that's all
Yes, today is the day Ferguson Emmett P. Summerall
Comes to call

[Verse 3]
We'll be flyin' mighty high in the afternoon
Laughter turnin'
Into somethin' kin to
Gettin' into where I've been
Oh, what a happy day, mm-mm
[Flute Solo]

[Chorus]
For today is a day, quite a day, mm-mm-hmm
Full of gay daydreamin', that's all
Yes, today is the day that Ferguson Emmett P. Summerall
Comes to call

[Verse 3]
We'll be flyin' mighty high in the afternoon
Laughter turnin'
Into somethin' kin to
Gettin' into where I've been
Oh, what a happy day, mm-mm

[Outro]
Oh, what a happy day
Oh, what a happy day, mm-mm
