Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I’ve got something I can laugh about
I feel good, in a special way
The Texas senate passed H B 1243 (twelve forty three)
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Runs my AC as the sun goes down
Good day sunshine

A closed coal plant we gladly see
I feel good, I know I’m breathing fine
I’m so proud to know the power is mine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
