I’ve got a smile on my face, I’ve got four walls around me The sun in the sky, the water surrounds me I’ll win now but sometimes I’ll lose I’ve been battered, but I’ll never bruise, it’s not so bad
[Chorus:] And I say way-hey-hey, it’s just an ordinary day and it’s all your state of mind At the end of the day, you’ve just got to say, it’s all right.
Janie sings on the corner, what keeps her from dying? Let them say what they want, she won’t stop trying She might stumble, if they push her ’round She might fall, but she’ll never lie down
[Chorus]
In this beautiful life, but there’s always some sorrow It’s a double-edged knife, but there’s always tomorrow It’s up to you now if you sink or swim, Keep the faith and your ship will come in. It’s not so bad
And I say way-hey-hey, it’s just an ordinary day And it’s all your state of mind At the end of the day, you’ve just got to say I say way-hey-hey, it’s just an ordinary day And it’s all your state of mind At the end of the day, you’ve just got to say it’s alright
‘Cause it’s alright, it’s alright ‘Cause I’ve got a smile on my face and I’ve got four walls around me
