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 roachesich!
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!
