Lyrics

Didja’ ever
Didja’ ever get
Didja’ ever get one
Didja’ ever get one of them

Didja’ ever get one of them days, boy
Didja’ ever get one of them days
When nothin’ is right from mornin’ till night
Didja’ ever get one of them days boys
Didja’ ever get one of them days

Ya get up in the morning and turn the shower on
You’re gettin’ pneumonia, the hot water is gone
Freezin’, sneezin’, you wanna dry your back, a well
Didja’ ever get one of them days when there’s no towel on the rack
(Yeah, rack, rack, rack, rack, rack, rack, rack, rack)

Didja’ ever
Didja’ ever get
Didja’ ever get one
Didja’ ever get one of them girls

Didja’ ever get one of them girls, boys
Didja’ ever get one of them girls
Who’s awful nice but cold as ice
Didja’ ever get one of them girls, boys
Didja’ ever get one of them girls
(Yeah, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls)

You’re at a drive-in movie with a cute brunette
A countin’ on the kisses that you figure to get
Closer, closer, then she hollers, “woah!”
Didja’ ever get one of them girls who just wants to watch the show
(Yeah, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show)

Didja’ ever
Didja’ ever get
Didja’ ever get one
Didja’ ever get one of them
Didja’ ever get one of them days

Didja’ ever get one of them days, boys
Didja’ ever get one of them days

When nothin’ is right
From mornin’ to night
Didja’ ever get one of them days, boy
Didja’ ever get one of them days
(Yeah, days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days)

You’re on a Sunday picnic and then it starts to pour
You run through poison ivy, scratch until you are sore
Ants come dancin’, carry off the bread
Didja’ ever get one of them days when you should-a stayed in bed
(Yeah, days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days)

Didja’ ever
Didja’ ever get
Didja’ ever get one
Didja’ ever get one of them
Days
One of them days
