I don't recognize the tune of this one, so I don't know if it's a parody or an original tune.

Here's my transcription from the recording found on this page. (or click to play)


WHAT A LOUSY DAY WAS YESTERDAY

1. What a lousy day was yesterday!
Only yesterday my skies were blue.
Daddy broke my fav'rite Beatle record,
And he made me get a get a haircut too.

2. Only yesterday I went to school.
Teacher said I acted like a fool;
Asked me who cut down the cherry tree.
I said, "Teacher dear, it wasn't me."

BRIDGE 1: All my luck is bad; my life is just one big mistake.
I'd go out and hang myself but I know the rope would break.

3. What a lousy day was yesterday!
Daddy gave my little dog away.
They bought a brand new home and left me flat,
And they won't even tell me where it's at.

BRIDGE 2: Day late and a dollar short; my life has been like this.
I'd go out and shoot myself but I know that I would miss.

4. Only yesterday I learned my lesson:
Always keep on hopin' for the best.
If you ever need a friend, just try and find one,
'Cause a friend in need ain't nothin' but a pest.

What a lousy day was yesterday!
What a lousy day was yesterday!
What a lousy day was yesterday! (FADE)
