The World Is Our Oyster
As mornings go, this one's a beaut
What more is there to say
As I greet the world with a great big smile
And hope y'all have a great day!
The world is our oyster I've heard it said
Not wild about oysters but hey
I understand what they were trying to tell us
Be happy, it's the only way
To cope with all of life's ups and downs
The good days and the sad
Some days you'd like to throw in the towel
But hang in there, it ain't so bad
Tomorrow is always an exciting new day
With all of it's promise and joy
So if you approach it with great big smile
It'll be like a brand new toy
Do you think I practice what I preach
Well I certainly try my best
To deserve this opportunity I was given
As I continue along on life's quest
