Have something nice to say
Tell the truth for once
It won’t put you back a day

If that dude can play
With other goods as well
Have something nice to say

I’m green too, ok
More than most, you know
It won’t put you back a day

Like Maggie May
Wake up, the road is paved
Have something nice to say

Above, the sun’s collective ray
Within, possibility
It won’t put you back a day

Wash that face today
The specs aren’t so small
Have something nice to say
It won’t put you back a day
