  • San Francisco Bay, past pier thirty-nine
    Early PM, can't remember what time
    Got the waiting cab stopped at the red light
    Address, unsure of but it turned out just right

    It started straight off, "coming here is Hell"
    That's his first words, we asked what he meant
    He said, "Where you from?" we told him a lot
    We take a holiday, is this what you want?

    To have a nice day
    Have a nice day
    Have a nice day
    Have a nice day

    Lie around all day, have a drink to chase
    Yourself and tourists, yeah, that's what I hate
    He said, "We're going wrong", we've all become the same
    We dress the same ways, only our accents change

    So have a nice day
    Have a nice day
    Have a nice day
    Have a nice day

    Swim in the ocean, that be my dish
    I drive around all day and kill processed fish
    It's all money gum, no artists anymore
    You're only in it now to it make more, more and more

    So have a nice day
    Have a nice day
    Have a nice day
    Have a nice day

    Have a nice day
    Have a nice day
    Have a nice day
    Have a nice day
    Have a nice day Writer/s: Kelly Jones, Richard Mark Jones, Stuart Cable

  • Ukpe@rson from Teesside JEE2P a go to summer album.
  • Mike from LondonThe song does have meaning. At the time, Kelly Jones used to write lyrics based on interactions with people and people watching. The band were in San Francisco and jumped into a cab. The driver commented how he hated San Francisco, its tourists and processed fish. After this negative introduction, the can ride ended with the driver ironically saying "Have a nice day"
  • Nick from Cambridge, EnglandI love pretty much all Stereophonics songs, I was amazed to see so few comments and facts about them.
  • Amy from Chester, EnglandThis is a very catchy song that you can't help falling in love with. 5 stars*****
  • Paul from Galway, IrelandHow come no-ones commented on this brilliant song. I love the stereophonics. Theyre unreal. Another group of singers to come out of wales. Catchy song. Smooth and Lounge type song. One of their best
