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!
