All In A Day's Work

Song byEels
in AlbumShootenanny!

When i was born the doctor said

There's something wrong inside that baby head

When i was a boy at sunday school

I told them all that they were fools

All in a day's work

To live and breathe

A sight to see

And so it goes

I went into the fortune teller's

She wouldn't read my horoscope

I go into the laundromat

The people all buy extra soap

All in a day's work

To live and breathe

A sight to see
