Daydream

The Lovin' Spoonful

What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy
And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for takin' a walk outside
I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new mowed lawn

I've been havin' a sweet dream
I been dreamin' since I woke up today
It's starrin' me and my sweet dream
'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way

And even if time has passing me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for droppin' my load
A pie in your face for bein' a sleepy bulltoad

And you can be sure that if you're feelin' right
A daydream will last along into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may pick up your ears
Or you may be daydreamin' for a thousand years

What a day for a daydream
Custom made for a daydreamin' boy
And now I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin 'bout my bundle of joy

    I don't care what anyone says... this song is about smoking a blunt and walking around. Writer's intent is irrelevent in music anyway. Listener's interpretation is the only thing that matters. How can you possibly hate drugs? Take your mind out of the government's proverbial ass and read independant information concerning drug use... you'll find that most drugs really aren't as detrimental as you would assume. Enlightenment comes with a spark.

    Not drugs! I think he’s living the life of a dog! “Taking a walk in the sun and follow my face on somebody’s new mowed lawn!” I get the grass reference. However, much more fun to think of an old hound dog just enjoying a lazy summer day outside, roaming free.

    It's NOT about drugs, I think. But it's a good song anyway

    He's dreaming about his girl, because "she's the one that's making me feel this way." She's his "bundle of joy."

    damn, those people took my ideas for DRUGS (which was purely JOKING, jeez. why must people think everything is about drugs. and why do people think when someone acts really weird they're on drugs. Gargaga. When I say that, someone could say i'm using drugs. I AM NOT. I HATE DRUGS. that is all)

    AHha! I agree with ZBOV. His actin goofy in the song is just a way of sayin how the girl makes him feel (like he's using drugs) which isn't exactly the best analogy, cause I wouldnt want someone to describe me like using a drug. Anyway, I like the song too. Stupid people, it's not about drugs
