JEWEL OF A DAY
Music and Lyrics by HARRY LEWIS
INTRODUCTION
Use your imagination
And take a vacation,
It’s not very hard to do:
Just make a few revisions,
Adjustments, decisions,
And all of your dreams will come true!
I think you’re gonna be keen
When I show you what I mean.
REFRAIN
Oh, what a JEWEL OF A DAY
Where you can see everything in your own way.
Oh, what a JEWEL OF A DAY,
A beautiful JEWEL OF A DAY!
Look around you, see that glare?
It’s the sunshine everywhere!
So delightful to behold…
And oh, did I mention it’s made of pure gold?
Turn your tangles
Into bangles!
Why see roaches (ich!)
When you’d rather see brooches?
Make rhinestones
Into fine stones!
When you have gemology
Who needs psychology?
Oh, what a JEWEL OF A DAY —
Money’s no object—there’s nothin’ to pay!
Oh, what a JEWEL OF A DAY,
A dazzling JEWEL OF A DAY!
If it’s raining, let it rain!
Those are di’monds, don’t complain!
Catch a couple and you’ll see
How attractive a new pair of earrings can be!
Wan’ a necklace?
Don’t be reckless:
When you think it
Picture more than a trinket!
Perspective
Is selective.
This day as it passes
Through rose-coloured glasses is
One brilliant JEWEL OF A DAY
A radiant rainbow refracted from gray!
Oh, what an insightful, delightfully glimmering, shimmering JEWEL OF A DAY!
(Instrumental)
If you’re nappin’
It won’t happen!
Reinvention
Should be done with intention.
Emotions
Are your potions.
So stop thinking tragic’lly,
Change your life magic’lly!
Make this a JEWEL OF A DAY—
A day t’ put Wizard on your resume
CODA
And don’t be surprised
When the dark, cloudy skies
Turn an opulent sapphire blue!
Lift up that noble chin
An’ drop the violin
‘Cause happiness begins
With you!
