The Lyrics
Sometimes, it just isn't worth getting out of bed in the morning
Wake up at seven and head for the shower
I have to be at my desk in an hour
Alarm clock's broke: it's not seven, it's eight!
Holy [expletive]; I'm gonna be late!
Run to the bus stop and slip in street vomit
Put down my briefcase and two dogs piss on it
Do not see lamp-post and squish my whole face
Looks like it's gonna be one of those days
Jump on the first bus, without close inspection
It's moving quickly....in the wrong direction
Utter another expletive-filled phrase
No doubt in my mind; it's one of those days
Gonna get fired
Missed a meeting
Things are lookin' bad
Then I get a call from my drunk Friday fling
She says I might be...a dad! {f***!}
I'm reeling as I take the elevator
Out of my pocket falls my wife's vibrator
Right at the feet of my manager, Jane
There's really no point in try'n to explain...
Computer crashes while report I'm savin'
Boss takes the credit for all of my slavin'
Then thinks I'm joking when I ask for raise
She doesn't care I've had one of those days
On the way home, get molested by a tramp
Sit on a park bench, then wonder why it's damp
In supermarket, knock down canned display
Chased by security, I run away
Lost my house keys
Wife's in Beijing
Sleep in garden shed
So even on days when you feel like crying
Read this and you won't...feel bad
I have to be at my desk in an hour
Alarm clock's broke: it's not seven, it's eight!
Holy [expletive]; I'm gonna be late!
Run to the bus stop and slip in street vomit
Put down my briefcase and two dogs piss on it
Do not see lamp-post and squish my whole face
Looks like it's gonna be one of those days
Jump on the first bus, without close inspection
It's moving quickly....in the wrong direction
Utter another expletive-filled phrase
No doubt in my mind; it's one of those days
Gonna get fired
Missed a meeting
Things are lookin' bad
Then I get a call from my drunk Friday fling
She says I might be...a dad! {f***!}
I'm reeling as I take the elevator
Out of my pocket falls my wife's vibrator
Right at the feet of my manager, Jane
There's really no point in try'n to explain...
Computer crashes while report I'm savin'
Boss takes the credit for all of my slavin'
Then thinks I'm joking when I ask for raise
She doesn't care I've had one of those days
On the way home, get molested by a tramp
Sit on a park bench, then wonder why it's damp
In supermarket, knock down canned display
Chased by security, I run away
Lost my house keys
Wife's in Beijing
Sleep in garden shed
So even on days when you feel like crying
Read this and you won't...feel bad

Hahahahaha!!! We missed you Kristof. This has to be the 50th time you've done this particular songs (Trying to be the John A Barry of Julie Andrews?) But when you know what you're good at why do something else, each time you've done this song it's been spectaular! This one was no exception to the rule.
lol...you are right. That was worse than my worst day. Each line made me smile (and say 'oh no') . 5's
Everyone I talk too say the foundering economy has been accompanied by a string of bad luck in other areas of their lives. My best friend just wiped out his truck hitting a deer, and the steering wheel on "Bankbreak Chrysler" is wobbling on a worn out bearing. "My Girl's" furnace is leaking carbon monoxide. I think this is a law of nature. And that's why they call Nature a "Mother".
I'm just wondering why your wife's vibrator was in YOUR pocket :-)
Not bad at all!
Call that a bad day? Pfft.. I'd kill to have a day that good. I have to wake up in cardboard box in t'middle of t'road...
Seems I have one of those days. I used to be an early riser when I was still in high school and wouldn't mind getting up on weekends, but now I feel I don't see any point in waking up, especially since I'm still out of work. My mom ends up waking me and my bro up anyways! Like McKludge, I was also wondering about your wife's vibrator as well! Some day you must have had! I hope that 555's will make you feel the best of your worst day!
Comfort from over here, when we read this it's already tomorrow in Australia!
Thanks for your v's & c's, folks!
Matty: Not quite 50, dude! (possibly 10..) I guess this is my fall-back tune when I have an idea but can't be arsed to shoehorn it into a tricky song. It's a great song for narrative parodies. Cheers!
Adagio: Great to hear from ya, Pat! Glad you enjoyed
Patrick: I think you may be onto something, dude. Bad luck seems to snowball during hard times. Thanx
McK: ummmmm...I was taking it to get repaired? ;-) Cheers
JAB: Muchos gracias amigo!
BR> Phil: And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you. :-D Thank you sir...
Christie: I hope you find something soon, and your bad days improve. Cheers!
Peter: That IS true...but I live in London! Ta very much, my Swedish kamrat.

Kristof, from one of your brilliance, I'd have expected fewer misplaced stresses, or at least marks like hyphens to tip us off. Or perhaps the British stress "plet" in "expletive"? :) :) :) ...few other such tiny nits on an over-the-top funny song. (See? It really *was* a bad day! TT gotcha!) .. but 555
Kristof...I've missed you. Not kidding when I say that I was thinking, just this morning, of messaging you just to say so. Thanks for submitting so that I didn't have to beg you to submit. Hee hee.
This is top notch, buddy...though when I miss a meeting, I generally call it a great big win! =)
Anyway...great job. And stick around. Like I should talk...I will if you will...how's that?

Being a teenager, I can't say I know how bad work days feel... but the day of a test is much worse than any other day of my life! 555
Hilarious! Absolutely over-the-top hilarious. :D
@ Everyone: re TT... See? *See*? This is what I get daily. And you thought we were exaggerating! ;)

Tommy: it seems that though we share a common language, we really don't. Brits (and aussies, of which I am one) pronounce expletive as "ex-PLEE-tive"...I didn't know Americans pronounced it differently. Thanks for the vote and comment, mate
Arwen: Ditto, sweetie....truth is, it's getting harder to come up with fresh stuff. But I'll try to hang around a bit more, so I guess we have a deal! Cheers, babe...
DJ: You've got it all to look forward to! Thanx buddy

Thanx Fiddlegirl...and I don't know HOW you put up with him....;-0
Kristof: Neither do I, but I'm grateful that one person in the world does :)
Thanks for the EN-BR lesson, Mate. Now, if you'll just buy me a subscription to OED Online, or send me a hard copy, so I can correct all of these silly online dictionaries.... Cold one on me, Mate! :D
@FG: I'm building up my character....

... and after more than three and a half years, it ages to perfect maturity.

(you were right, then, of course -- as am I now, mwahaha! ....took me that long to catch ya in one, but all even, square, and quits now -- and another cold one on me, mate! :) :)

Yeah, that is a pretty bad day, but a good rendering of the OS. Well done, very funny.
There 'MAY' be hope for you if you try hard enough, but...
Didn't get to this one yesterday, but what an early treat for today! This is superb, It was LOL through the whole thing. 555 is an understatement, great job.
You and Daniel Powter! OTT great stuff as always, man.-- Sorry I missed this first time 'round... I'm considering blaming it on your 'molesting tramp'!
