Lyrics

                        I just want to celebrate another day of livin’
I just want to celebrate another day of life

Put my faith in the people but the people let me down
So I turned the other way and I carry on anyhow

That’s why I’m telling you

I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah, another day of living, yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of life

Had my head on the dollar bill and the dollar bill flew away
But the sun is shining down on me and it’s here to stay

That’s why I’m telling you

I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah, another day of living, yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of life

Don’t let it all get you down, no, no
Don’t let it spin you around and around

Can’t be bothered with sorrow
And I can’t be bothered with hate, no, no
I’m using up the time but feeling fine every day

That’s why I’m telling you

I just want to celebrate another day of livin’
I just want to celebrate another day...
I just want to celebrate another day of livin’
I just want to celebrate another day of life

Don’t let it all get you down, no, no
Don’t let it spin you around and around
And around and around and around and ’round
’Round, ’round, ’round

Don’t let it spin you around
Don’t let it bring you down

I just want to celebrate
