  • Uh, and it just keeps goin' (yeah)
    And it just keeps

    So I'm in the airport getting ready to leave
    Heading to a friend's wedding in the N.Y.C
    But my head has been spinning, I'm forgetting to eat
    All this jet setting has been really getting to me
    It's already 11:20, I'm ready to sleep
    But instead I end up sitting in a 27-C
    An aisle seat, fine by me
    But the guy that's inside's always tryin' to pee
    With a wild child behind me, he's cryin' and keeps
    Flippin out and kickin' at me while he violently screams
    So I silently plea, oh God, please
    Let there be a honey sitting 27-B
    But of course some morbidly obese
    Beast is in the seat that wheezes when he breathes
    Dude sitting D is at least three deep
    And he keeps telling me what is wrong with his knees: (I got bad knees)
    'Osgood Schlatters,' just need water
    But for a bottle they charge two dollars (what?)
    And when I thought that it couldn't get worse
    I forgot my iPod

    I'm havin' a bad day
    Nothin' ever seems to go my way
    Everybody needs to go away
    Why? Because I'm havin" a bad day, yeah (oh no no no)
    And it just keeps goin' (keep goin')
    And it just keeps (goin' on!)
    And it just keeps goin' (keep goin')
    And it just keeps (goin' on)

    So four hours and turbulence
    We land when I'm about to turd in my pants
    But the captain has "Seatbelt fastened"
    So my ass is just passin gas and
    Then at last I escaped from the plane
    When I'm minutes away from clinically insane
    I make my way towards baggage claim
    When I hear a high-pitched voice scream my name (Asher!)
    Some dumb bitch I went to high school with
    While I'm sweating she's telling me she likes my shit
    I just smile and think, 'bout how great it would be
    If I could just hit this chick with a quick leg sweep (leg sweep)
    So I pick up my L.L. Bean
    And beeline for the next taxi (taxi)
    In need of weed, and boxer briefs
    But my bag's only got Maxi's

    I'm havin' a bad day
    Nothin' ever seems to go my way
    Everybody needs to go away
    Why? Because I'm havin' a bad day, yeah
    (And it keep goin')' and it just keeps goin' (keep goin')
    And it just keeps (goin' on!)
    And it just keeps goin' (keep goin')
    And it just keeps (goin' on)

    I check in to my hotel room
    And I pick up my cell phone to dial the groom
    Tell him my mood and I'm ordering food
    And I'm probably gonna stay in and watch a movie
    But the tube has no HBO (what?)
    So anything I want, yo I'm paying fo'
    But I'm lame and broke, so I'm laying in a robe
    Watching that "Little People, Big World" show
    Right then there's a knock at the door
    It's my last hope for a Spanish whore
    Who will change my sheets in exchange for penis
    "Hi, I've lost my cat, have you seen it?"
    Jesus, this day is the worst
    At least I can give Little Me a jerk
    And then go to sleep, healthy and disease-less
    I guess it could be worse, but I'm just

    I'm havin' a bad day
    Nothin ever seems to go my way
    Everybody needs to go away
    Why? Because I'm havin' a bad day, yeah
    Oh oh oh
    And it just keeps goin' (keep goin')
    And it just keeps (goin' on!)
    And it just keeps goin' (keep goin')
    And it just keeps (goin' on)

    Hey, and it keep goin' on
