Lyrics
One day I made my lunch with cheese and bread
For a nice sandwich with a mayo spread.
I took a bite and then I found a fold
That was as soft as mush, oh it was mold
So I just ate around that little spot
Because I liked the rest of what I got.
I took the bad part right out of my mouth.
I tossed it in the can and threw it out.
Things go right, things go wrong.
Put 'em together, and they make a song.
It might be short, it might be long
But a good melody will move us along.
I put my best shoes on. They were just cleaned.
Went for a walk to feel the summer breeze.
When I stepped on something with a crunch
Well it just squished like it was full of gunk.
At home the shoes came off outside the door.
So they would not track junk upon the floor.
And then I scraped the goo off with a spoon
And they so looked almost as good as new.
Things go right, things go wrong.
Put 'em together, and they make a song.
It might be short, it might be long
But a good melody will move us along.
Thinking back to that moldy bread I bit.
My luck was good because I didn't get sick.
And in that goo where my shoe got stuck that time
There was a nice surprise, a bright and shiny dime!
Things go right, things go wrong.
Put 'em together, and they make a song.
It might be short, it might be long
But a good melody will move us along.
