All in a Day's Work - The Posies

Well it’s a beautiful day for a certain arrangement

There’s wheels in the water and tires on the pavement

Don’t tell me the party’s through

The lights are coming on at 2

Most of the time

And if the bartenders come out to play

I’m going to try to keep them out of the way

I’m crossing the line that leads to a good time

There’s only so many chords that haven’t been played yet

And the check’s in the mail but we haven’t been paid yet

The chauffeur’s picking up our tab

It’s looking like we need a cab

We’re counting our dimes

And if the ploy won’t come into play

Were gonna save it for a rainy day

When we’re blurring the line

Between us and the good times

It’s all in a day’s work

(All in the way you work with the changes)

It’s all in a day’s work

(All in the way you take to the strangers)

Then we’ll be back in the morning and brush off the pay dirt

Derange it by evening and call it a day’s work

And every word that we parlay

Gets forgotten the next day

It’s better that way

But if the boys don’t come into play

You’ll have to save them for a rainy day

When we’re writing the lines and making up good times

It’s all in a day’s work

(All in the way you work with the changes)

It’s all in a day’s work

(All in the way you take to the strangers)

It’s all in a day’s work

(All in the way you work with the changes)

It’s all in a day’s work

(All in the way you take to the strangers)
