The worst day I ever had!
From January to December
I have never felt so bad!
This is the worst day I can remember!
‘Cause ev’rything has gone wrong!
From January to December
Oh, it’s as terrible as I remember!
My day just hasn’t really been a gem, sir!
It’s the worst day all day long!

A
Change of Heart
It doesn’t take a lightening blot to fire a little
spark
It doesn’t take a magic lamp to peer into the dark.
It doesn’t take a shooting star to make a dream
come true
It only takes a willingness that’s there inside of
you.
It doesn’t take a miracle to make a brand new
start.
It only takes a little love to have a change of
heart.
It doesn’t take a lightening blot to fire a little
spark
It doesn’t take a magic lamp to peer into the dark.
It doesn’t take a shooting star to make a dream
come true
It only takes a willingness that’s there inside of
you.
It doesn’t take a miracle to make a brand new
start.
It only takes a little love to have a change of
heart.

Make
Lemonade
When the world hands you roses, give’em a smell.
When one window closes, one will open as well!
When the world give you sunshine, don’t live in the
shade
And when the world gives you lemons, make lemonade!
When world gives you money, spread it around.
When bees give you honey, slurp it up by the pound!
When the grass is the greenest, enjoy ev’ry blade
And when the world gives you lemons, make lemonade!
Most things aren’t as bad as they seem.
Sour can turn out sweet.
Nightmares turn out only a dream.
Tricks can be a treat!
(spoken) That’s
why we repeat!
When the world drives you crazy, go with the flow
Be fresh as a daisy and nobody will know.
When the band starts aplayin’ join the parade
And the world gives you lemons, make lemonade!
Make lemonade!
Make lemonade!
Make lemonade!
