the day i died was the best day of my life

now the secretaries they got a smile for me

and the intray on my desks almost empty

I get a memo from executive joe

saying Rob the gob is getting kicked out

for embezzling funds from the company account

and id be lying if i said i wasnt chuffed

cos i always hated rob

and now they'll probbaly offer me robs old job

and in the park at lunch

theres no whinos on my favourite bench

none of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench

and the 20 little piegeons with the gammy leg

decide to dine from someone elses sandwich instead

and theres something about the city today

like all the colours conspire to overwhelm the grey

and this close to the fire i can feel no cold

but a rainbow halo around my soul

the day i died was the best day of my life

the day i died was the best day of my life

tell my friends and my kids and my wife

everything will be alright

the day i died was the best day of my life


      F#                     D#

          G#                    D#m

         C#
i begin to walk
                G#                           D#m
and rush hour crowd seem to part like the red sea
                        C#
and im stopping at the offy
                                   F#
20 cigerettes and a 6 pack to relax me

and as i cross back over the street

i guess i never saw that taxi


D#m   F#   C#   G# (2x)
i guess i never saw that taxi
D#m   F#   C#   G# (2x)
dudududuududududud!

the day i died was the best day of my life

the day i died was the best day of my life

tell my friends and my kids and my wife

everything will be alright

the day i died was the best day of my life
