At midnight to our delight
We'll wave goodbye to today
So I can sit up til twiight
Not wasting time today
However, on the other hand
Things did not go as we had planned.
I must announce with sincere sorrow
Today has become tomorrow
Now just a minute
Yesterday, has not become today
But also tomorrow
Has now become today
This is a linguistic problem
Which will not go away
And now tomorrow's things to do
Tomorrow means today
No more procrastinating
Today I must be brave
And use buttons and ribbons
And new shirts I had saved
I kept them for a rainy day
But the rain has not gone away
I might never get to wear them
If I don't wear them today
But lets look on the bright side
And make the inside outside
Today will soon be in the past
The days are runnying past so fast
I do not have a wedding
A funeral or crisis
Give it a rest, I'll wear my best
And see that this day nice is.
