Lyrics and translation

Original

(Don't listen, feel the sound)

And King Cornelius defeated the terrible dragon

And all the people in the land were very happy ('cause the dragon is dead)

No, no, let me finish the book (oops, sorry, mommy)

And the people came to the king's side cheering, "Hooray, the sun has come out"

And the king began to sing

Just another day in the sun

I guess another day's begun

I ain't got nothin' to do (searching)

I'm thinkin' 'bout gettin' wit' you

Just another day in the sun

I guess another day has begun

I ain't got nothin' to do (searching)

I'm thinkin' 'bout gettin' wit' you

And you get me so high

Never could front on a day with some sunshine

And you get me so high

Never could front on a day with some sunshine

Sunshiny day

Things you say make the clouds go away

And we've got it good (yeah)

I can't wait to be with you again

I walk through the city real slow

Like I've been pieced together by that dude named Frankenstein

And I only got one little thing on my mind, that's a whole lotta you

Hot on my tail be a whole lotta crew

After me they (searching) with their pitchforks and stakes

Try to backstab, but they can't grab your attention away from me and vice versa

Mama always said there'd be days like this

But never thought it'd be so soon

My days consume my thoughts of your kiss and your well-shaved legs

And pedicured toes (with the) sunny side up egg yellow when it glows

The twinkle from the diamond in your nose got me climbing for the star in the rough

Showing by in just cuspids, incisors, canines, and molars

Smiling for your love as she bathe in the solar

And you get me so high

Never could front on a day with some sunshine

And you get me so high

Never could front on a day with some sunshine (sunshine, uh, uh, yeah)

Can I tell you about the sun? Could I make you believe

That in the summer when they burn it and we're not the leaves?

Look at me stayin' on green, keepin' the healthiest sheen

That's how our function could be, start this production with me

We come on time with a band (harmony on all notes)

Music composed with a jam

(Ooh, the sun is shinin' on some) L-O-V-E, love

And that's word to Plug Two, to J.D. Dove

My nigga rhymed his ass off

And now heat reside way past Sunday

And we love sun, that's everyone

But can you let your hair down from that bun?

And shake right to left 'cause I love it long

Sun shinin' on you and your energy's strong

Shake it right to left 'cause I love it long

Sun shinin' on you and our energy's strong

Shake it right to left 'cause I love it long

Sun shinin' on you

Just another day in the sun (ah, ah)

I guess another day has begun (ooh, ooh)

And I ain't got nothin' to do (yeah-yeah)

I'm thinkin' 'bout gettin' wit' you, yeah

And you get me (get me) so high

Never could front on a day with some sunshine

(I never could front on a day with some sunshine, oh)

And you get me so high (so high)

Never could front on a day with some sunshine (no, no, no)

Mm, you get me so high, get me so high (sunshine)

Ain't got nothin' to do but wanna be with you

(Sunshine for sale), yeah (only five cents)

Come get your sunshine
