Lazy Day

(Music by George Fischoff-Lyrics by Tony Powers, copyright 1967) - Recorded by Spanky and Our Gang

Blue Sky, sunshine, what a day to take a walk in the park.
Ice cream, daydream till the sky becomes a blanket of stars.
What a day for pick-in' daisies and lots of red balloons.
And what a day for hold in' hands and being with you.
(Refrain)   Lazy Day, just right for lovin' away
Lazy Day, made for a stroll in the lane;
Baby, you and me (baby, you and me)
And the honey bee ('neath a shady tree)

Lazy Day, Lazy Day, Lazy Day for (**'n') you and me.

Blue sky, sunshine, flowers bloomin', *children say-in' hello.

Row boats, bird notes, People smilin' everywhere that they go.
What a day to be together, and what a sky of blue
And what a day for think-in' right out loud I love you.

(Refrain)

What a day for pickin' daisies and lots of red balloons.
And what a day for thinkin' right out loud I love you.
Lazy Day, just right for lovin' away
Lazy Day, made for a stroll in the lane;

Lazy Day, just right for lovin' away

Lazy Day, made for a stroll in the lane.

*originally, the lyrics were "squirrels sayin' 'Hello'" but Spanky flatly refused to sing it that way, so the squirrels became "children."--Sharon Bach, January 9, 2000

**The official song lyrics do not make use of 'for' in the refrain,  using 'n', however the recorded version uses 'for.'
