Good Day Sunshine Lyrics



Lennon/McCartney


Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine

I need to laugh and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day

Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine

We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground

Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine

Then we'd lie beneath the shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine.

Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine, Good Day Sunshine

Anomalies

0:04,0:07
Cymbals come in suddenly, rather than a complete fade-in.
1:19 * NEW *
Right channel, click, right after clap.
1:26
Someone (John? Ringo?) repeats "she feels good." This appears to trigger something closely approximating a chuckle from Paul in the next line.

Listening closely on the CD, it sounds like Ringo saying "She f**ing does". The last word is definitely not "good", very likely "does". Also heard by David Gulczynski.

John Sinclair refers to the version on "Give My Regards To Broad Street" and says "that it is 'she feels good' repeated."

* NEW * On Paul McCartney's Get Back video (1990 tour), a live version is performed, where he sings the second "she feels good" very clearly.

Maybe he laughed because he was meant to repeat the line, but actually twisted it?
1:33
Bad edit in piano track (right ear)
1:58
Cut to four vocal tracks is abrupt.
Paul McCartney wrote this on a sunny day at John Lennon's house. It was influenced by the Lovin' Spoonful, who had a happy hit with "Do You Believe In Magic?"
Beatles producer George Martin played the piano. He recorded it at a faster speed so it would sound slower when mixed.
An early use of stereo, the chorus bounces between the left and right channels at the fade.
