JEWEL OF A DAY

Music and Lyrics by HARRY LEWIS

 

Use your imagination

And take a vacation!

It’s not very hard to do.

 

Just make a few revisions,

Adjustments, decisions,

And all of your dreams will come true!

 

I think you’re gonna be keen

When I show you what I mean.

 

Oh, what a JEWEL OF A DAY

Where you can make everything go your own way.

Oh, what a JEWEL OF A DAY,

A beautful JEWEL OF A DAY!

 

Look around you, see that glare?

It’s the sunshine everywhere

So delightful to behold—

And oh, did I mention it’s made of pure gold?

 

Turn your tangles

Into bangles!

Why see roaches—ich!—

When you’d rather see brooches?

 

Make rhinestones

Into fine stones!

When you have gemology

Who needs psychology?

 

Oh, what a JEWEL OF A DAY —

The dewdrops are opals arranged on display!

Oh, what a JEWEL OF A DAY,

A beautiful JEWEL OF A DAY!

 

All the grass here, every blade,

Is the finest grade of jade…

Or of emeralds, better still!

(Either way it’s much nicer than plain chlorophyll!)

 

You want honey?

Keep your money!

You want trinkets?

Hey, that’s easy, just think it!

 

Perspective

Is selective,

So have some epiphanies

Make the world Tiffany’s!

 

Oh, what a JEWEL OF A DAY,

As boundless and bright as the whole Milky Way!

Oh, what an extra-fantabulous, glimmering, shimmering jewel of a day!

 

(INSTRUMENTAL)

 

Why be tragic?

Do some magic!

You’ll be grinning

From the very beginning.

 

Just try it

And you’ll buy it!

This day as it passes

Through my coloured glasses

 

Is one gorgeous JEWEL OF A DAY,

Where you can make everything go your own way.

 

So if you’re wise

You’ll open your eyes

And take a look and see

The most precious things in life are free!
