Happy As the Day is Long lyrics
by Duke Ellington
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
I've got my trousers pressed, shoes shined
Had my coat and vest relined
Take a look at my lapels
See the flower, can't you tell
I'm happy as the day is long
I haven't got a dime to lend
I've got a lot of time to spend
Just a pocket full of air
Feeling like a millionaire
I'm happy as the day is long
[Bridge]
Got a heavy affair
And I'm having my fun
Am I walking on air?
Gee, but I'm the lucky one
[Verse 3]
I've got my peace of mind, knock wood
I hear that love is blind, that's good
'Cause the things I never see
Never seem to worry me
I'm happy as the day is long
[Instrumental]
