It was a very good day
One of them kind
And I´m still feelin´ fine
Everythin´ started
Way back in June
Nineteen-forty-nine
That´s when I was born
And I don´t remember
Nothing from these days
As it is now
I´m another member
Of the human race
Now I´m here ever since I got
The ticket for a show
Sometimes livin´ on the highest spot
And sometimes pretty low
Now I´m here with my ups and downs
I don´t ask for a loan
Among the other clowns
I try to be my own
It was a very good day
When I saw the world
As either good or bad
And I never knew
What´s there for takin´
And what´s not to be had
So that´s where I started
From complete zero
Believin´ in my fate
Up to this day
I´m not a hero
But I try to play it straight
Now I´m here ever since I got
The ticket for a show
Sometimes livin´ on the highest spot
And sometimes pretty low
Now I´m here with my ups and downs
I don´t ask for a loan
Among the other clowns
I try to be my own
It was a very good day
No one but me
Knows the ways of my own life
Since that July forty-nine
I´m glad to be alive
Now I´m here ever since I got
The ticket for a show
Sometimes livin´ on the highest spot
And sometimes pretty low
Now I´m here with my ups and downs
I don´t ask for a loan
Among the other clowns
I try to be my own
