One Of Those Days

I guess, God said

"It's time to let the little people have the salad days

Somebody cut the rain

Let there be lawn chairs in the shade for everyone



Be sure to give it the works the barbecues and the fireworks

And make certain the night is fair

For my lovers in pairs, I'll be behind the sun

Now let these things be done, it's one of those days



We had iced-up beer in the park with the picnic gear

The salad days between the hoots and shouts

We were knockin' a volleyball around

Every which way



Tan dads without no shirts, young things tucked under skirts

A baby girl whose face is smirched with some dessert

Bad boys hurtin' their bikes

Shootin' for the world-record psyche, one of those days



Now sometime later on, God peeked from behind the sun, he said

"Looks like it's all worked out and I can rest a while"

God had His great snooze and through the trees a sleepy breeze blew

It was one of those days
