  • Blue sky, Sunshine, what a day to take a walk in the park.
    Ice cream, Day dream, till the sky becomes a blanket of stars.
    What a day for pickin' daisies, and lots of red balloons.
    And what a day for holdin' hands and bein' with you.

    Lazy Day, Just right for lovin' away.
    Lazy Day, Made for a stroll in the lane,
    Baby, you and me (Baby you and me)
    and the honey bee ('Neath a shady tree)
    Lazy Day, Lazy Day, Lazy Day
    'n' you 'n' me

    Blue sky, Sunshine, flowers bloomin' children sayin' hello.
    Row boats, bird notes, people smilin' ev'rywhere that they go.
    What a day to be together, and what a sky of blue.
    And what a day for thinkin' right out loud, I love you.

    Lazy Day, Just right for lovin' away.
    Lazy Day, Made for a stroll in the lane,
    Baby, you and me (Baby you and me)
    and the honey bee ('Neath a shady tree)
    Lazy Day, Lazy Day, Lazy Day
    'n' you 'n' me

    Lazy Day, Just right for lovin' away
    Lazy Day, Made for a strollin' the lane.

    Lazy Day, Just right for lovin' away
    Lazy Day, Made for a strollin' the lane.

    Lazy Day, Just right for lovin' away

  • AnonymousLove the clip on Ed Sullivan Show. Great catchy song, and Spanky performs with upbeat personality and a little cheekiness! Love it…..and she had an amazing voice!!! Would put these Idol type show contenders to shame!!
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn December 17th, 1967 Spanky & Our Gang performed "Lazy Day" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'...
    Two months earlier on October 8th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on November 26th it peaked at #14 (for 1 week) and spent 11 weeks on the Top 100...
    It was track one of their 1967 album, "Spanky and Our Gang", and two other tracks from the album made the Top 100 ("Sunday Will Never Be The Same" at #9 and "Making Every Minute Count" at #31)...
    R.I.P. Mr. Sullivan (1901 - 1974) and Elaine "Spanky" McFarlane will celebrate her 72nd birthday this coming June 19th.
  • Steve from Whittier, CaGreat soft-rock ear candy psychedelia" of the year, right up there with "Up, Up, and Away",and "The Rain, the Park, and Other Things".
