Lyrics:

Didja' ever
Didja' ever get
Didja' ever get one
Didja' ever get one of them
Didja' ever get one of them days
Didja' ever get one of them days, boy
When nothin' is right from mornin' till night
Didja' ever get one of them days, boy
Didja' ever get one of them days

You get up in the morning and turn the shower on
You're gettin' pneumonia, the hot, hot water is gone
Freezin' sneezin'
You wanna dry your back, well
Didja' ever get one of them days
When there's no towel on the rack

Didja' ever
Didja' ever get
Didja' ever get one
Didja' ever get one of them
Didja' ever get one of them girls, boy
Didja' ever get one of them girls
Who's awful nice
But cold as ice
Didja' ever get one of them girls, boy
Didja' ever get one of them girls
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls
You're at a drive-in movie
With a cute brunette
A countin' on the kisses that you figure to get
Closer, closer, then she hollers ho!
Didja' ever get one of them girls
Who just wants to watch the show
Show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show

Didja' ever
Didja' ever get
Didja' ever get one
Didja' ever get one of them
Didja' ever get one of them days, boy
Didja' ever get one of them days
When nothin' is right
From mornin' to night
Didja' ever get one of them days, boy
Didja' ever get one of them days

Days days days days days days days days
You're on a Sunday picnic
And then it starts to pour
You run through poison ivy, scratch until you are sore
Ants come dancin', carry off the bread, oh
Didja' ever get one of them days
When you should have stayed in bed

Stay stay stay stay stay stay stay

Didja' ever
Didja' ever get
Didja' ever get one
Didja' ever get one of them days
