Get a painting in your hand, found a spot on the wall
You pull yourself together to be a man once and for all
So you get your brand new toolbox from the garage
You pull out the hammer and you start to pound
You don't really hit the nail, you hit an awful sound
That lets you know you got a new five foot hole in the wall
People say that I can do nothing right
When I don't look on the bright side
I'm in trouble even on my lucky day
It's your holiday, another day at the beach
Your phone is far away and your work's finally out of reach
The only thing scheduled is your appoinment with the sun
So you're just about ready puttin' all of your sunblock on
Then this kid and a truckload of sand run along
Now you just have to start all over again
People say that I can do nothing right
When I don't look on the bright side
I'm in trouble even on my lucky day
Well you might believe I'm not the only one
I don't believe you're right
Cause Im in trouble. even on my lucky day
It's the middle of the night and your really have to go
But you want to be quiet, so you don't switch on the light,
Thinking I should find my way in the dark by now...
So you climb out of bed and you reach for the door.
But your forgot all about the box you put there the night before,
Now you're all awake staring at the pack of ice on your foot.
People say that I can do nothing right
When I don't look on the bright side
I'm in trouble even on my lucky, even on my lucky
I said even on my lucky day
