 On Any Other Day by The Police
 Theres  a house on my street,  and it  looks real neat.
 I'm  the chap who lives in it.
 Theres a tree on the sidewalk, theres a car by the door.
 I'll go for a drive in it.
 And when the wombat (??) comes, he will find me gone.
 He'll look for a place to sit.
 My  wife  has burned  the scrambled  eggs.
 The  dog's  just bit  my leg.
 My  teen-aged  daughter  ran away.
 My  fine  young son has  turned out gay.
 Cut up my fingers in the door of my car.
 How could I do it?
 My wife is proud to tell me of her love affairs.
 How could she do this to me?
 
 
 And  it would be OK on any other day. X2
 Throw down the morning papers, and spill my tea.
 I don't know whats wrong with me.
 The cups and plates are in a conspiracy.
 I'm covered in misery.
 Chorus II X4 (w/ Chipmunk-like voice: "Happy birthday dear daddy")
