Today Is Gonna Be a Great Day Lyrics

There's 104 days of summer vacation
Till school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it

Like maybe building a rocket or fighting a mummy
Or climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Discovering something that doesn't exist
Or giving a monkey a shower

Surfing tidal waves, creating nanobots
Or locating Frankenstein's brain
Finding a dodo bird, painting a continent
Or driving your sister insane

This could possibly be the best day ever
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be
A million and six times better

So make every minute count
Jump up, jump in and seize the day
And let's make sure that in every single possible way
Today is gonna to be a great day

Crossing the tundra or building a roller coaster
Or skiing down a mountain of beans
Devising a system for remembering everything
Or synchronizing submarines

Racing chariots, taming tiger sharks
Constructing a portal to Mars
Building a time machine, stretching a rubber tree
Or wailing away on guitars

This could possibly be the best day ever
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be
A million and six times better

So make every minute count
Jump up, jump in and seize the day
And let's make sure that in every single possible way
Today is gonna to be a great day

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Let's put our heads together and design a master plan
We may miss dinner but I know mom will understand

We got our mission in suppliers
Yogurt, gumballs and desire
And a pocketful of rubber bands
The manual on handstands

Unicycle, compass
And a camera that won't focus
And a canteen full of soda
Grab a beach towel, here we go
This is Ferb-tastic

This could possibly be the best day ever
And the forecast says that tomorrow will likely be
A million and six times better

So make every minute count
Jump up, jump in and seize the day
And let's make sure that in every single possible way
Seriously, this is gonna be great

This could possibly be the best day ever
(Today is gonna be a great day)
This could possibly be the best day ever
(Today is gonna be a great day)

Lyrics provided by LyricsEver.com
Bowling for Soup (acronym: BFS, or sometimes B4S) is a pop punk band based in Denton, Texas (but originally from Wichita Falls, Texas) formed in 1994 from the remains of an old metal band. Quoting Jaret Reddick, the lead singer, "we wanted to make happy music". They're known for their often humorous lyrics, upbeat guitar riffs, and Jaret's distinctive voice.

They are best known for their singles "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" in 2002 on Drunk Enough to Dance which was nominated for a 2003 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Performance by a Group or Duo" and "1985" (originally written by Mitch Allan of SR-71) in 2004 on A Hangover You Don't Deserve. Speaking with Songfacts about "Girl All The Bad Girls Want" in a 2010 interview, Reddick said: "'Girl All The Bad Guys Want' was my very first co-write ever, and me and Butch Walker sat in a room and literally wrote that song in 30 minutes. I mean, it was done."

The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Sh*t" routine from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars. Jaret Reddick has also stated that at the end of his last performance with his old band one of the members came on stage and proclaimed "Come back next week when we play with our new band... BOWLING FOR SOUP!". This was supposed be to be joke name, but since they couldn't think of anything better the name stuck. Their single '1985' can be found on the UK and the Norwegian editions of Singstar Rocks for the PS2.

They have also became hits on Radio Disney with edits of "1985", "Punk Rock 101", "High School Never Ends", and the inclusion of their version of "I Melt With You" in the Disney movie "Sky High". They have also written and recorded "Today is Gonna Be a Great Day" as the theme song for Disney's "Phineas and Ferb"
