Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling

 IT'S A GREAT DAY!


Enjoy the rest of your day 

Tell troubles to go away

Don't care what nobody says 

It's a great day to have a great day (Repeat 4X)


Cause troubles may come 

ya don't know when, 

When ya send them away...

they may come back again

If trouble is a bully, 

who calls you names, 

Don’t bully back and cause more pain


Bullies are sad people,

 that is true 

Don't mind them 

for what they do

They are hurting inside, 

not happy like you

And hurt people, 

hurt people too


Chorus:

Enjoy the rest of your day

Tell ya troubles to go away

Don't care what nobody says

It's a great day to have a great day


So laugh and smile...

it will soon end.

And you will find 

a better friend.

One who respects 

and cares about you

You gonna have big fun 

with them too


So what do you do? 

What do you say?

To make troubles go away?

So what do you do? 

What do you say?

To make troubles go away? 

(repeat chorus)
