OPPOSITE DAY

by Ron Sowell (Dog Feathers Music, BMI)

Mom says put your elbows on the table
Open wide when you chew
Eat all of your ice cream
You can't have broccoli till you're through

Ya gotta watch your cartoons
Before you can do your chores
And when it starts rainin' hard
Then you can play outdoors

CHORUS
On Opposite Day
You get confused
You get mad when things go right
And laugh when you get the blues
You can't do any homework
Till after you play
Cause everything is backwards
On Opposite Day

You might hear your cat start barkin'
See dogs climbin' trees
Clean your room before you have to
Ask your mom to make more peas

Boys might play with Barbies
Girls with G.I. Joes
You'll be amazed in lots of ways
But that's the way it goes

REPEAT CHORUS

Spinach rots your teeth
Cookies make you strong
Dad says it's good for you
If you stay up all night long

REPEAT CHORUS
