  6 -5  6   7 -7  8*  -7
What a day for a day-dream 
 8  -7  8   8 -7  8   -7* 7   -7-5* 6
What a day for a day dreamin` boy 
 5   6    6   7 -7 8*  -7
And I`m lost in a daydream 
 8 -7      8    8  8-7   8  -7  7
Dreamin` `bout my bundle of joy~~~ 
 -6 -7 8 -9  -9*  9     -9 9  10 10  9*
And even if time ain`t really on my side 
 -6   7   8   -9   -9*  9   -9-9  9  10  10 9*   
It`s one of those days for takin` a walk outside 
 -7  8 -9    9  -9*  9  -9  9  10  10 10  10  9*
I`m blowin` the day to take a walk in the sun 
 7   -9  10 10  10  9  -9  9 9    -9*  10    9  7
And fall on my face on somebody`s new mowed lawn 

2. 
I`ve been havin` a sweet dream 
I`ve been dreamin` since I woke up to-day 
It`s starin` me and my sweet dream 
`cause she`s the one that makes me feel this way 
And even if time is passin` me by a lot 
I could`nt care less about the dues you say I got 
Tomorrow I`ll pay the dues for droppin` my load 
A pie in the face for bein`a sleepy bull toad 
3. 
(whistle)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
And you can be sure that if you`re feelin` right 
A day-dream can last into the night 
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears 
Or you may be daydreamin` for a thousand years 
4. 
What a day for a day-dream 
Custom made for a day-dreamin` boy 
I`m lost in a day-dream 
Dreamin` `bout my bundle of joy (Whistle to end) 

 
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
