Subject: Lyr Add: DAYDREAM (John Sebastian)
I never quite got all the words to this, and after thirty years, it's time I did. I'm confident about this much:

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 taking a walk outside
I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new-mown lawn

I've been having a sweet dream
I been dreaming since I woke up today
It's starring me and my sweet dream
'Cause she's the one makes me feel this way

And even if time is passing me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load
A pie in the face for being a sleepy
[? ? ?]

(Whistle)

And you can be sure that if you're feeling right
A daydream will last long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years ...


From what I've seen with Google, nobody else seems quite sure what the mystery pie-in-the-face expression is: bull toad, bull doag, bo-do... Anybody know for sure?
