Good Day Sunshine

Release date: 05 August 1966

Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out,
I've got something I can laugh about.
I feel good in a special way.
I'm in love an' it's a sunny day.

Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.

We take a walk the sun is shining down,
Burns my feet as they touch the ground.

Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.

Then we'd lie beneath a shady tree.
I love her and she's loving me.
She feels good. She knows she's looking fine.
I'm so proud to know that she is mine.

Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
