about

Wake up on the right side of the bed and then hit the parade with Risa Branch's soulful New Orleans jazz version of this happy tune.

lyrics

IT'S A GOOD DAY

When I woke up this morning
I was feeling all wrong
Couldn't find any reason for a happy song
Then I had some coffee and I washed my face
And my little world fell into place

Yes, it's a good day for singing a song
A good day for moving along
It's a good day
How could anything go wrong?
A good day from morning 'til night

Said, it's a good day for shining your shoes
A good day for losing the blues
Got everything to gain, nothing to lose
It's a good day from morning 'til night

I said to the Sun: Good morning, Sun
Rise and shine today!
You know you've gotta get goin' if you're gonna make a showin'
And you've got the right of way

'Cause it's a good day for paying your bills
A good day for curing your ills
So take a deep breath and throw away the pills
It's a good day from morning 'til night

[Instrumental]

I said to the Sun: Good morning, Sun
Rise and shine today!
You know you've gotta get goin' if you're gonna make a showin'
And you've got the right of way, yeah

It's a good day for paying your bills
A good day for curing your ills
So take a deep breath and throw away the pills
It's a good day from morning—morning 'til night!

Risa’s bluesy, vintage voice at once brings the past into the future. Distinctive and powerful, yet sweet and soulful, her vocal chords are tugging at heart strings, getting toes to tap, raising consciousness and making fingers snap.
