A bad day for Mr. Steinbaum
He’s dragging his heels today
He knows that something ain’t quite right
But what it is, he can’t say
Normally he’s happy but there’s a feeling in his head
Did he leave something at the house
Or did he just wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
A hard day for Mr. Steinbaum
Watching everyone move along
Everybody’s marching to the same old drum
But he hears a somber song
The sun is shining but in his eyes
The skies look gray instead
Did he forget an important date
Or did he just wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
Tussling, fighting, his vexation knows no limits
Struggling just to keep up for a few more minutes
A poor day for Mr. Steinbaum
One for the record books
You might say he seems okay
But that’s only the way it looks
Even as he watches the world, he’s feeling half-past dead
Did he get himself a bad night’s sleep
And did he wake himself up on the wrong side of the bed?
