Written by Bobbie Gentry

I’m just sitting pretty watching the flowers grow
Beneath my window
Oh just feeling my oats and coasting mostly

As they say
Can you come out and play?
I’m just feeling silly lovin’ the feeling so
In my big toe

Oh, just watching the ceiling
Reeling, stealing that whole show
Beginning to make my day

For today is the day, quite a day, hmmm
Full of gay daydreamin’, thats all
Yes, today is the day that Fergeson Emmett P. Summerall comes to call

We be flying mighty high in the afternoon
Laughter turning into something kin to
Gettin’ into where I been
Oh, what a happy day

For today is the day, quite a day, hmmm
Full of gay daydreamin’, that’s all
Yes, today is the day that Fergeson Emmett P. Summerall comes to call

We’ll be flying mighty high in the afternoon
Laughter turning into something kin to
Getting into where I been
Oh, what a happy day, mmm

Oh, what a happy day
Oh, what a happy day
