Look On the Bright Side
When the kids are complaining
'cause it won't stop raining,
To be stuck indoors just sucks.
Don't let them pout,
Instead point out,
It's lovely weather for ducks!
When you're feeling blue
'cause your bills are due,
And you've got more checks than bucks,
Don't take to drink,
Count to ten and think,
It's lovely weather for ducks!
When you've burned the toast
And ruined the roast
'cause you just can't cook for shucks,
Lift up your chin
And order in,
It's lovely weather for ducks!
When your spirit's poor
'cause your job's a bore,
Your career is at its crux,
Just smile and shrug,
Lots of dough in drugs,
But before your self-esteem self-destructs,
Please remember this bit,
Not all drugs are legit,
And besides that's a business for schmucks.
So stay on the right side,
And look on the bright side,
Somewhere,
It's lovely weather for ducks!
