It would be so nice It would be so nice It would be so nice To meet, sometime Everybody wakes, and in the morning Hot tea and can't stop yawning Pass the butter please Have you ever read the daily standard? Reading all about the plane that's landed Upside down? And no one knows what I did today There can be no other way But I would just like to say It would be so nice It would be so nice It would be so nice To meet sometime It would be so nice It would be so nice It would be so nice To meet sometime Everybody cares about the weather And everybody should know better What a waste of time Everybody lives beneath the ceiling Living out a dream that sends them reeling To a distant place But no one knows what I did today There can be no other way But I would just like to say It would be so nice It would be so nice It would be so nice To meet sometime It would be so nice It would be so nice It would be so nice To meet sometime It would be so nice It would be so nice It would be so nice To meet sometime
