I Can Get to Work Now

(tune: I Can See Clearly Now,
by Johnny Nash (1972))

I can get to work now, the rain is gone,
I can see all the fallen leaves in my yard
Gone are the dark clouds that had me inside
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Leaf-Raking day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Leaf-Raking day.

I think I can rake it now, the pain is gone
All of the back achings have disappeared
Here is the clear day I've been waiting for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Leaf-Raking day.

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies.

I did get to work now, the pain is back,
I still have many fallen leaves in my yard
But gone are the huge piles that I made
It was a long (long), so long (long) day.

I’m gonna need a long (long), so long (long) Bone-Resting day.

I’m gonna need a long (long), so long (long) Bone-Resting day.
